Update: 2 shootings -- one fatal -- may be connected

PROVIDENCE -- A 20-year-old man died today after being found lying in the street just after noon at the corner of Hamilton and Congress Streets, suffering from several gunshot wounds, police said this afternoon.

Richard Perez, of Providence, was found about an hour after an 18-year-old man was shot several times on Sackett Street. He was pronounced dead at Rhode Island Hospital.

The earlier shooting victim, Neffi Crisostomo, of Balkan Street, is in stable condition at Rhode Island Hospital, according to police.

Police are exploring the possibility that the two shootings are connected. No more information was available at this time.
