The first case happened at around 6:15 a.m. when police responded to a 911 call about a bleeding male in the unit block of S. California Avenue.
The victim, identified as Mr. Vincent O’Brien, III, 50, was rushed to the Atlantic City Regional Medical Center, where he later succumbed to his wounds.
The second incident occurred at 7:34 a.m., involving a 911 call about a male with multiple stab wounds at Michigan Avenue and the boardwalk.
