As of Friday night, police could not say how many suspects might be involved in the brazen shooting and no suspect descriptions were provided.

Tucked away in an area filled with new residential construction, the SUV was parked beside a concrete barrier.

Homicide detectives arrived around 4:30 p.m. and began combing the scene for evidence.
