Detectives in Washington, D.C., were still working Monday morning to identify a suspect in the weekend shooting that left two dead and five people injured.

A preliminary investigation indicates one or more suspects intentionally opened fire at the victims around 3 a.m. Sunday near the intersection of 7th Street and P Street Northwest, the Metropolitan Police Department said. No motive was immediately available.

Police identified the two victims who died at the scene as Anthony Brown, a 32-year-old Washington, D.C., resident, and 32-year-old Jay Lucks of Baltimore. No further information about the men was released.

Five other victims, three men and two women, were all found with gunshot wounds in the 600 block of P Street. All five were rushed to local hospitals. No details on their conditions were available.
