Police say two men were standing outside the business when five people drove up in a maroon sedan, got out of the vehicle and demanded the pair hand over personal property. After a short altercation, a 17-year-old boy was shot and all five suspects fled in the vehicle. The other victim was uninjured.

The shooting victim was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Later that night, police responded to another shooting outside an “entertainment establishment” near 111 Avenue and 96 Street. Police were told a maroon Acura sedan arrived at the scene with multiple occupants who then got into an altercation with two men. One of the car’s occupants then allegedly shot both men before the suspects fled the scene.
