Around 9 p.m. Saturday, 23-year-old Zaire Williams of Irvington was found dead from a gunshot wound in the 700 block of South 20th Street.

About 2 ½ hours later, police found four shooting victims on South Orange Avenue about a mile and a half away. Thirty-six-year-old Lisa Parker of Orange was pronounced dead. The other three are in stable condition.
