“The investigation is at its earliest stages but information thus far indicates this was a targeted shooting,” Lee said.

Detectives are now on the scene to gather forensic evidence, canvass for more witnesses and locate surveillance footage. Police are also looking for two people who were “in and around that area” and may be connected to the shooting, Lee said.
