Beverly Hills police announced Thursday that two "persons of interest" have been identified in their investigation into the shooting of Mark Ruffalo's younger brother, 39-year-old Scott Ruffalo—what officials are now calling an attempted murder.

In a press release issued by police department spokesman Lt. Tony Lee, authorities say that they're looking to question a man by the name of Brian Scofield Adham and a woman named Shaha Mishaal in conection with the shooting.

No further information regarding their relationship to the victim was released.

A Beverly Hills Fire Department crew responded at about 1:10 a.m. on Monday to a report of a man who had fallen in the 400 block of North Palm Drive in Beverly Hills. Upon arrival, they found that Scott Ruffalo had sustained a head injury, which turned out to be a gunshot wound.

A rep for Mark confirmed to E! News yesterday that Scott was hospitalized in critical condition and was fighting for his life.
