PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Providence police are investigating another shooting near the spot where a 21-year-old man was shot to death early Monday morning.
The 29-year-old victim of the shooting at about 8:30 p.m. Monday near a makeshift memorial for Isaias Bulus was taken to the hospital with injuries not considered life threatening, police said. Bulus, 21, was found fatally shot inside a vehicle on Atlantic Avenue at about 2 a.m. Monday.
It’s unclear if the shootings are connected, Maj. David Lapatin said. The second victim’s name was not made public.
No arrests have been reported in either shooting.
Bulus was found after police got a call from a neighbor who spotted the body inside the parked car with the passenger door open. Police think the victim was targeted and Lapatin does not think there is any danger to the community.
The death was the city’s fourth homicide of the year.
