The Manatee County Sheriff's Office are looking for a Mercury Grand Marquis that may have been used in a shooting Friday night that killed two.
Investigators are still trying to identify the two Hispanic men found shot lying in the street in the 1100 block of 59th Avenue Drive East. One man died at the scene, the other died later at Manatee Memorial Hospital, the sheriff's office said.
According to the sheriff's office, witnesses reported the two men were walking west on 59th Avenue Drive East at about 9 p.m. when a third person in a car approached them and opened fire.
Witnesses described the car as a Grand Marquis, possibly blue, the sheriff's office said.
Investigators believe the shooting was gang-related. They're asking anyone with information about the shooting to call the Manatee County Sheriff's Office at (941) 747-3011 or Crimestoppers at 866-634-TIPS.
