Both victims, one a teenager and the other a man in his 20s, were pronounced dead at the scene.
In a news conference Saturday morning, Const. Laurie McCann said the shooting followed an altercation involving a group of individuals.
Police believe one or more firearms were discharged during the incident.
“It’s looking like it was a targeted incident, not random,” Const. McCann said.
It remains unclear whether the suspects fled before officers arrived or how they left the area, adding that surveillance footage is being reviewed.
No suspect descriptions have been released.
Const. McCann said the investigation is still in its early stages, with a large presence in the area as officers canvass for evidence and witnesses.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact police.
