Two men were shot and killed in two separate incidents Wednesday night in Prince George’s County and a third man was shot in the arm, according to police.

The first shooting took place at about 6:10 p.m. in the 500 block of Birchleaf Avenue in Capitol Heights. Prince George’s County police said they found two men who were shot and identified the deceased man as 23-year-old Anthony Ameen Littleton, of the 7300 block of Joplin Street.

A 28-year-old man, whom police did not identify, was transported to a local hospital for treatment for a gunshot wound to the arm.

The second shooting happened at about 11:30 p.m. in the 4700 block of Hudson Avenue in Suitland Manor.

Police said they arrived on the scene and found 38-year-old Ulises Hercules dead. Hercules lived in the 4700 block of Hudson Avenue in the heart of Suitland Manor, an area long-designated by the county for redevelopment because of continuing problems with drugs and crime.

Police said they have no motives in the shootings and no suspects. Investigations into both of the incidents continue, police said.
