Authorities in Florida said they're investigating the second targeted shooting in as many days, just kilometers apart and both at shopping centers.
The News-Press reported 41-year-old Torre Deontray Fulcher and 43-year-old William Allen Merrill III were fatally shot by a high-calibre rifle at the Sungold Plaza strip mall in Fort Myers on Wednesday night.
Fort Myers police said Fulcher was declared dead when they arrived at a nearby hospital, and Merrill died Thursday morning.
The shooting occurred a day after two men were shot and killed at the Bell Tower Shops, an outdoor mall nine kilometres away.
A woman remained hospitalized from that shooting.
Investigators didn't believe the shootings are connected.
No arrests had been reported in either shooting.
