Investigators say three people were shot. One is being treated at Moses Cone.

Greensboro, NC -- Families were eating dinner Saturday night at Las Jarochitas Mexican Restaurant on High Point Road when two customers were shot to death.

They have been identified as 42-year-old Manuel Garcia Salinas and 31-year-old Ruben Carcia Salinas.

Investigators say the another man was shot and was treated at Moses Cone Hospital.

Police say there is evidence this is a MS-13 gang related shooting.

Police chief Tim Bellamy told WFMY News 2's Erich Spivey the MS-13 gang first arrived in Greensboro about two years ago, but has become more active in the last eight months.

Investigators say the two shooters got away in a burgundy SUV.

There was another homicide earlier Saturday on Warren Street. Bellamy says that made three homicides in 12-hour span, following four killins in 24 hours last weekend.
