Saturday night three men were shot and killed in Philadelphia in two separate shootings.

At around 8:30 p.m. police arrived at 6000 Sansom Street to find two West Philadelphia men suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, police said.

Here, police found Terrell White, 34, after he had been shot multiple times to the upper body. Officers said White was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at around 9 p.m., according to the police.

At the same location, officials said that police found Marquan Fox, 24, after he had been shot several times, as well.

Fox was transported to the hospital and placed in extremely critical condition. He was then later pronounced dead at about 9:30 p.m., officials said.

Investigators said Sunday that the two victims -- along with a third man -- were sitting inside a gray Hyundai when an unknown white vehicle drove by and the occupants fired several rounds into the Hyundai's passenger side.

Law enforcement officials said the white vehicle fled eastbound on Sansom Street towards 52nd Street.

In a separate incident at 3700 North Carlisle police found Samir Burton, 19, from that block, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body, police said.

Burton was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 9:30 p.m., according to investigators.

At this time both of these shootings remain under investigation. Police said no weapons were recovered from either scenes and no arrests have yet been made.
