A victim told police that he and two other men were sitting in a vehicle at Strawberry Fields Park when another vehicle that had been driving erratically in the area pulled up and to the victims' vehicle and someone inside shot at it. The suspect vehicle then pulled up 60 feet and people inside shot some more at the victims' vehicle.

After the shooting, the driver of the victims' vehicle dropped the 18-year-old victim off in the 1400 block of Don Pedro Road where it was hoped that he would get medical attention.
