The deceased was a man in his twenties. The other two victims were a man in his sixties, whose condition is stable, and a woman in her fifties, who is undergoing surgery.

The shooting occurred outside a fresh market, but it is not currently believed that anyone inside the building was involved in the shooting; however, the investigation is ongoing.

The evidence found at the crime scene was mainly cartridge cases, but also other objects that people may have dropped.
