COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- The Franklin County Coroner's Office on Wednesday identified the second person killed in a south Columbus shooting.

The coroner's office confirmed that Reginald Purnell, a 48-year-old man, died Tuesday morning from gunshot wounds. It previously named Darrell Walker, 45, as the first victim killed.

Officers found Walker and Purnell around 10 a.m. inside a house in the 1200 block of Seymour Avenue, near Deshler Park. Within minutes, the coroner's office said medics pronounced both of them dead.

Dispatchers first sent Columbus police to the scene after a woman went to the house to check on one of the two men. When she found one of them with gunshot wounds, she called police. Investigators later found the home had a broken back window.

Columbus police have not shared any details on a possibly suspect in the shooting as of Wednesday.
