Officers found 24-year-old Charles Bellinger on a porch, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head, police said.
Medics pronounced him dead at the scene at 10:48 p.m.
About 20 minutes later, a 27-year-old man was shot in the chest on the 1200 block of West Westmoreland Street in Franklinville.
He was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:20 p.m., police said.
