From Kim Minugh:
Two men were shot to death in a south Sacramento apartment early this morning, three weeks after a shooting was reported at the same apartment, according to neighbors.
About 1 a.m., a male suspect broke into the apartment at 2205 18th Avenue and shot two men inside, said Sacramento police spokesman Sgt. Norm Leong.
The men have not been identified, but Leong said one man is 60 years old and the other is in his 50s.
Two other adults were in the house at the time of the shootings but were not injured, Leong said.
The motive for the killings is unknown; however, Leong said the victims likely were not randomly chosen.
Leong said there is only one known suspect at this point, although "we are not ruling out the possibility that there are more."
Two neighbors in the five-unit cinderblock complex said a shooting occurred within the same unit three weeks ago, in which at least one woman was shot. Leong declined to discuss the shooting and said only that detectives are looking at prior calls to that unit and investigating whether there is a connection to the double-homicide.
"Everything's open," Leong said.
