NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- Police are investigating a fatal shooting that left two brothers dead and another person injured in Newark.

The shooting occurred on Vassar Avenue and Clinton Place just before 2 a.m. Friday.

Two men, identified by relatives as 25-year-old Fuquan Davis and his adopted brother 24-year-old Jalil Henry, were found dead inside a car in front of their uncle's house, CBS 2's Kathryn Brown reported.

They were gunned down in what appears to be an execution-style killing, 1010 WINS' Steve Sandberg reported.
