Two males were found shot outside a white car on the passenger’s side. They both died at the scene.
Police believe a group of four other males in a black pickup truck had gotten into an argument with the two males in the white car at a different location and caught up to them near the shooting scene.
A witness told police that a male in the bed of the black pickup truck had an AK-47 and opened fire on the white car. Police say the two males in the white car — the driver and the passenger — both got out of the car at some point during the shooting. They were both shot.
According to police, a gun was found inside the white car and another was outside the car, but it’s unclear if either of the two males returned gunfire.
