According to multiple witnesses, several young people were gathered at the apartment complex when suddenly someone in a Chrysler 300, perhaps gray or silver, arrived at the scene and got out of the vehicle. The attacker pulled out a gun and unloaded a hail of bullets.

The Chrysler 300 in which the girls’ killer had arrived had tinted windows, chrome wheels, and marks on the driver’s side doors as if it had been involved in an accident. The GPD Homicide Division doesn’t know if the shooter had an accomplice.
