Two men were shot and killed Thursday night on Columbus' Northeast Side in a shooting city police said may have involved a third party.

Columbus police responded to a report of a shooting around 6:40 p.m. to the 1000 block of Marland Drive North on the Northeast Side, Deputy Chief Smith Weir said.

When officers arrived, a 37-year-old man was found unresponsive and pronounced dead by medics inside a house. He had not been identified by police as of 4 p.m. Friday, pending notification of family.

Matthew Scheurrell, 45, of Grove City, was found outside a home with gunshot injuries. He was taken in critical condition to OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, where he later died.
