County police are investigating a shooting near Prince George’s Plaza that left two men dead and two others hospitalized Wednesday evening, police said.
The shooting occurred about 8:30 p.m. in the 3300 block of Manorwood Drive, according to a press release issued by Prince George’s County Police.
Hyattsville City Police found four men at the scene who had been shot in the upper body, said Henry Tippett a county police spokesman. One was pronounced dead at the scene and the others were taken to a local hospital. The second man died at the hospital later that evening.
According to the press release, the victims were believed to be on their way to an event when they were approached and robbed. One of the suspects shot the victims before fleeing in a dark-colored vehicle.
The names of the victims have not yet been released because police are still working to notify their families, said Tippett.
He added that three men are wanted in connection with the shooting, but no arrests have been made.
Tippett declined to provide any more information.
Maj. Kevin Davis, District 1 commander of Prince George’s Police, could not comment on the shooting because the investigation is ongoing.
