Two people were shot dead Saturday at mid-day (Feb. 17) in the Treme neighborhood, New Orleans police said. Both victims were male and appeared to have been wounded in the upper body.

The killings were reported at 11:30 a.m. at the intersection of St. Ann and North Prieur streets, where one body was found on St. Ann and the other in the front passenger seat of a silver Nissan sedan. The passenger-side window of the car was shattered, pieces of the glass sprayed on the ground where officers had placed two of nine evidence cones deployed for the investigation.

From a nearby doorway, one woman cried inconsolably: "My daddy, my daddy." Another woman cried while sitting against a police car, and a third woman, as she was led away from the crime tape by relatives, sobbed, "No. I don't want to go nowhere."
