The attack is one of several shootings to have taken place in the Costa del Sol region this year, according to reports in Spain.
It also comes amid a gangland feud in Scotland, but Police Scotland said it had "nothing further to add at this time" over whether the double shooting in Spain was linked to criminal activities taking place on UK soil.
The force instead directed Sky News towards the Spanish authorities.
