Two young men were killed Saturday in separate shootings in Buffalo.

In both cases, gunfire appears to have been used to settle a dispute.

David D. Price, 18, of Dartmouth Avenue, was fatally shot early Saturday during an argument on the first block of Schreck Avenue in the city’s Bailey-Delavan area, police said.

More than 12 hours later, Jamal Palmer, 22, of Bissell Avenue, was fatally shot in the head while sitting on a porch in the Genesee-Moselle area.

No arrests have been made in either case, but investigations were continuing. Police urged anyone with information on the shootings to call the confidential tip line at 847-2255.

The Price shooting occurred at about 12:50 a. m., on Schreck near Olympic Avenue. He died a short time later.

“There may have been some type of argument involving a number of individuals prior to the shooting,” said Michael J. DeGeorge, police spokesman.

Police weren’t sure what sparked the dispute, he said.

Palmer, meanwhile, was shot at about 1:15 p.m. on a neighbor’s porch on Bissell near McKibben Street, DeGeorge said.

He was rushed to Erie County Medical Center, where he later died.

“It’s possible the shooting was preceded by an argument on or near the porch,” DeGeorge said.

Shortly after 5 p.m. Friday, two young men were wounded while sitting on a porch at 59 Emerson Place, between Michigan and Masten avenues in the Masten District.

DeGeorge said Eric Hemphill, 20, who was struck in the upper body, remained in critical condition Saturday in ECMC. Marcus Young, 19, also of Buffalo, was treated in ECMC for a wrist wound.
