Early Sunday morning, a shooting left one dead outside Rio Lounge at Market and Somme streets in the Ironbound.
That night, around 11 p.m., a second deadly shooting occurred near Three Levels Lounge and Sports Bar on Mulberry Street, across from the Prudential Center.
When events are held at the popular venue there is typically a heavy police presence, but nothing was scheduled at Prudential Sunday night.
The Essex County Prosecutor's Office said additional information on the incidents was not immediately available.
