Officers were called to a massage parlor at 2723 Boulevard Plaza, which is near Lincoln and George Washington Boulevard, around 3:30 p.m.   They found two men who had been shot.   A man identified as 44-year-old Robexy Figueroa of Wyoming was found inside the business with several gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.  A 71-year-old man was taken to a hospital where he underwent surgery, and he is expected to survive.
