Police said 26-year-old Dorian Cresswell and 24-year-old Jarrell Longs are each charged with two counts of first-degree murder after two men were fatally shot inside of a van early Friday.

The shooting occurred near the intersection of Sibley Boulevard and Clyde Avenue at around 2 a.m., police said.
