SALISBURY — The identities of two people who were shot to death about 8:40 a.m. Sunday have been released by Salisbury Police.

Shamarion Hooker, 20, and Skylar Mackey, 21, were pronounced dead Sunday morning after police and emergency crews arrived at the scene in the 1800 block of West 3rd Street near D Avenue.

The car the two had been traveling in had run off the roadway into a batch of heavy trees and brush.
