MIAMI - An investigation is underway after two men were found dead in a northwest Miami-Dade apartment.

The residence is on NW 92nd Street near 22nd Avenue.

According to police, a friend of the men went to check on them just before 9 p.m. Wednesday and found the front door unlocked. Inside, they discovered the bodies of the men who had been shot.

Neighbors said they heard gunshots a few days ago. 

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, it was like fireworks," said Maurice Rips. 

One neighbor told CBS4 that he was friends with one of the men who died. He believes the man has been dead inside the home since Monday because that was the last time he heard from him.   

Neighbors said one of the men was 25 years old, the other in his early 30s. Both new the neighborhood, only living there a few months.

"They used to have to pick up trucks and they used to go work to pick up pallets and things like that," said Rips. 

Police are trying to determine what led to the shooting. The names of the men have not been released.
