Orlando Police said they got a call about shots fired in the 700 block of Grand Street. While in route, they got another call that said a man was found shot on the street.

Orlando Fire Department personnel took him to a hospital, where he died.

Meanwhile, the officers who found the man in the street made entry into a home on the 1200 bock of South Parramore Avenue and found two dead inside.

Investigators have identified the two men who were found inside the home as Rodedrick Smith, 40, and Joseph Slade, 36. The home they were found in apparently belonged to Smith.

Clarence Bryant III, 34, was identified as the man found shot on the street.

Carl Woods, who lives down the road, said he's tired of the violence he says happens in Parramore too often.

"People dying, people getting shot up is just unbelievable," Woods said. "To keep violence out of your neighborhood is one thing but people dying is another thing. Something's got to change."

Police said they think the killings are an isolated incident, but they didn't explain why.

According to reports, both Smith and Slade have a history of drug-related arrests. Investigators, however, did not confirm whether this shooting investigation is drug-related.

For now, they are asking for the public's help. Anyone with more information is encouraged to contact crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.
