    Five people were shot late Thursday and early Friday at three locations in Fort Worth, police said.

    Two of the victims, whose names and ages the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office has not released, died.

    In the first killing, two people were at a party when they were shot about 10:45 p.m. The victims left the scene in a vehicle and were involved after driving a short distance in a crash near U.S. Highway 287 and Mitchell Boulevard, Fort Worth police said.

    A male who was shot in his torso died in the vehicle in the 3100 block of Wesleyan Drive South. A second victim was taken by private vehicle to a hospital.

    About four hours later, two people were shot during an altercation in the 7400 block of Kingswood Circle in south Fort Worth.

    One victim was pronounced dead at the scene and the second was taken to a hospital in serious condition, according to MedStar. The assailants are unknown.

    A fifth person was shot about 9:30 p.m. at The Campbell apartments in the 1400 block of Shiny Oaks Trail. The 23-year-old male victim was taken to a hospital in serious condition, according to a police report and MedStar.

    Police did not announce arrests in the shootings. Homicide detectives are investigating the Wesleyan Drive South and Kingswood Circle cases.
