11:00 a.m. news release from the SCMPD:

Savannah-Chatham Metro Police are investigating the deaths of two men found late Monday night in the street near 13 Linden Drive. Detectives have tentatively identified one of the victims, but have not determined a motive for the deaths. However, they did find evidence of foul play at the scene.

Metro police responded shortly before midnight after a motorist called to report the bodies in the street. Officers canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses, while forensic investigators processed the scene.

Witnesses reported the sound of a car speeding away from the scene after striking something or someone. Detectives found a knife on one of the victims, as well as blood-stained tire tracks leading away from the bodies.

Both victims appear to be of Hispanic decent and in their mid-to-late twenties. One of them had a Honduras identification card in his pocket.

The men suffered wounds consistent with those caused by a knife or other sharp object. The bodies were sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation crime lab for autopsies to determine their cause of death.

Anyone with information about the deaths is urged to call the department’s violent crimes unit at 651-6728; or call CrimeStoppers, 234-2020.
