2 Midtown shootings are under investigation for possible connection
Houston Police said they have matched the shell casings from two shootings minutes apart in Midtown.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston police are looking into whether two shootings about a block away from each other in Midtown are connected from overnight.

One man was killed just before 9 p.m. Friday night on Hadley and Austin Street.

While police were at that scene, they received a report of another shooting on Caroline near Webster.

Officers tell us the man injured in the second shooting underwent surgery Friday night.

It's unclear what led to either shooting. Police said they have surveillance video of the shooting on Hadley that shows the suspect, but officers have yet to release it.

Police say the shell casings left at both scenes match each other.
