For the second time in two nights, San Bernardino Police homicide detectives are investigating a fatal shooting in the 1200 block of N. Sierra Way.
“At this point it really is too early to tell if the shootings are related,” said Sgt. Rich Hale Friday evening.
Around 7 p.m., police received one call reporting a man had been shot outside an apartment complex on N. Sierra Way, said Hale.
Police and paramedics found the unidentified man lying outside with a gunshot wound to the chest and another to the left shoulder, according to dispatch reports.
Paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene.
Members of the police’s gang detail are assisting homicide investigators with the case, Hale said.
Less than 24 hours prior to Friday night’s fatal shooting, two men were shot in the same block, according to investigators. One of the men, identified as 21-year-old Adante Whittiker of San Bernardino, died Friday morning. The second man was struck in the leg.
Anyone with information on either shooting is asked to call police Detective Marco Granado at 909-384-5628 or Sgt. Gary Robertson at 909-841-5361.
