The suspects fled in what police said was a red four-door vehicle.
The other shooting happened a short while earlier at around 6:55 p.m. in the 1500 block of Spring Street, just south of Williams Brotherhood Park. The victim was a 53-year-old woman and police said she suffered a non-life-threatening injury.
Investigators said the woman told them she heard three gunshots in the area and then felt a pain in her right arm. No suspect information was available.
