A man in a joker mask was seen running through a neighbouring garden soon after a shooting, a witness said.
Two men died and a third has been left critically injured after the incident on Henley Road in Ilford, east London, shortly after
midnight.
Police rushed to the street shortly after being called by the London Ambulance Service to reports of a fight in progress and shots fired.
Officers found three males, all of whom were suffering gunshot injuries.
One of the victims, who was in his 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene. Another of the men died a short time after.
A statement issued by the police force said they believed they knew the identity of the victim in his 20s, while work to confirm the identity of the other man was ongoing.
Meanwhile, officers were working to inform their next of kin.
The third man, who was in his 30s, is in a critical condition in hospital.
Neighbours told how they mistook the sound of gunfire for fireworks being set off as part of the Hindu Diwali festival celebrations.
A nearby resident - who did not wish to be named - said his friend, who lives on the road - called 999 after seeing a man with a gunshot wound in the street.
He tried to resuscitate him as the shooters reportedly left in a Ford Fiesta.
The ambulance took 10 minutes to arrive while the police took 25, he said.
