Philadelphia police on Wednesday identified three people who were slain over the weekend in two separate shootings in the city.

Raymond Finney Sr., 48, and his sister Florence Pompey, 53, were found shot dead Sunday morning in the home they shared on the 1900 block of East Clearfield Street in Kensington.

Officers who responded to the house found Finney shot once in the head and once in the stomach. They found Pompey in a second-floor bedroom, shot once in the head.

Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene by medics at 9:05 a.m. that day.

A woman who shares three sons with Finney told 6ABC that she discovered the bodies in the house after going there to search for one of her sons, Raymond Finney Jr., who also lives there, but was missing. Tasmara McLaughlin said Finney Jr., who is employed by the city's Streets Department as a sanitation worker, was last seen heading to work Friday, and that some of his belongings were found later that day at 24th and Walnut Streets, 6ABC reported.

McLaughlin could not be immediately reached for further comment Wednesday.

A police spokesman confirmed that a missing-persons report was filed for Finney Jr.

Police on Wednesday also identified a man shot to death on the 1700 block of North Wilton Street in Wynnefield about 2:10 a.m. Sunday as Donald Burems, 20, of the 5200 block of Lancaster Avenue.

Officers responding to a report of a shooting on the 1700 block of North Wilton Street found Burems lying on the street, suffering from several gunshot wounds. He was transported to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 2:31 a.m.

No arrests have been made in the shootings, which remain under investigation. The motives behind the slayings also were not known.
