Nassau, BAHAMAS-Police are investigating the murders of two men in unrelated incidents on Tuesday.

The victims are 17-year-old Jason Joseph and Jeffrey Fowler. They both died on the scene.

The incident happened around 6pm.

Chief Superintendent Shanta Knowles, commander of the Central Detective Unit, said police expect to conclude their investigations into this murder soon.
