Two men were shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in Manhattan on a bloody Sunday night that saw five other people wounded in three unrelated shootings elsewhere in the city, authorities and witnesses said.
Police believe that Kenny Jimenez, 21, and aspiring rapper Francisco Mercedez, 29, were targeted in the fatal shooting on Broadway, near West 151st Street in Harlem at around 3 a.m.
Cops and EMS found Jimenez dead at the scene with a bullet in his neck. Mercedez suffered a gunshot wound to the back. He was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Mercedez, known as Boy Summa Benz, had just attended an album release party in Connecticut before returning to Harlem, friends and witnesses said.
One friend saw a a white sedan pull up and then heard gunshots.
"I fell to the ground," the witness said, describing how he and others took cover.
Once the gunfire stopped, the pal found Jimenez and Mercedez unconscious.

"A nightmare," he said. "I tried to flip him over so he could breathe. He was choking on his own blood."
Another friend said that Mercedez' rap lyrics were all positive and that Jimenez was his manager.
"They were fighting to get out of the neighborhood — the good way," the friend told the Post.
The duo were the only ones to die in a spate of shootings that injured people in Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx, officials said.
One man was struck in the arm by a bullet in Morningside Heights around 1:20 a.m., police said. The unidentified victim was taken from the scene, at St. Nicholas Avenue and West 127th Street to Harlem Hospital in stable condition, cops said.
Three men were shot at the corner of East 137th Street and Brook Avenue around 3:10 a.m., and they were taken to Lincoln Hospital, where they were expected to survive, police said.
And one person was shot on 118th Avenue, near 155th Street in South Jamaica around 6 a.m., authorities said. That victim was taken to Jamaica Hospital and is expected to survive, officials said.
Sunday's bloodshed came hours after three people were shot at around 10 p.m., Saturday, in Jefferson Park in East Harlem during a barbecue for Assembly candidate Edward Gibbs.
