Both victims, who have not been identified by police, were pronounced dead at the scene.
A police source told FOX 29's Steve Keeley that one of the victims was known to police and had been shot in the leg a month ago but never told authorities.
The man still had a .22 caliber bullet in his leg from the weeks-old shooting, according to Keeley's source.
Investigators marked off a crime scene outside the basement apartment that included scattered bullet casings and a shattered glass storm door.
As authorities were investigating, Keeley said a man opened the apartment door and asked officers what had happened to his door.
No arrests were reported immediately following the deadly double shooting.
