The names of two teenagers killed in a Moline double homicide have been released.
Rock Island County Coroner Brian Gustafson has identified the victims in the double homicide as 17-year-old Giovanni Flores and 19-year-old Zachary Meincke, both of Moline.
Autopsies were conducted on both victims Monday. The coroner found Flores had died from a gunshot wound to the head, while Meincke died from gunshot wounds to the head and chest.
