Then, just before 11:30 p.m., police say another shooting happened at 2635 Third Ave. near the Patterson Houses.

Officers found a 33-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his back. He is also expected to recover.

Police say the shootings are not connected. No suspect descriptions have been released in either case.
