As reported by the NY Daily News, two shooters in a white SUV fired multiple rounds before speeding off from the scene after firing several rounds. The investigation determined that the fifth victim was driving a BMW when he was struck by gunfire when he drove into it unknowingly and was unrecognized that he had been hit.

It was believed that three suspects had been arrested following the shooting after officers chased a vehicle that crashed about a mile away from the scene. Authorities recovered multiple firearms inside the vehicle, which was being driven by the three suspects.
