Hampton, Va. - Police are investigating after one man was killed and another seriously wounded in an early morning shooting in Hampton.

Police responding to multiple 911 calls around 2:25 a.m. found the first victim, a 25-year-old man, suffering from gunshot wounds in the 500 block of West Queen Street. Hampton Fire & Rescue transported him by ambulance to a local hospital with life threatening injuries.

While police were searching the area they found another person lying on the sidewalk in the 200 block of North Back River Road, shot to death. The victim has been identified as Tyquan D. Woods, 21, from Hampton.

According to police, the 25-year-old victim had been in a 2007 Chevrolet Impala, which was located in the area of Lincoln Street and Union Street, when he struck a curb.  The 25-year-old got out of the car and walked to West Queen Street where he was later found.  It is unknown if there is a relationship between the two victims or where the initial shooting happened.

There will be a memorial for Tyquan Woods tonight at 9pm at 6 Armor Arch, Apt 202 in Hampton, VA.
