Investigators are currently gathering information to identify the person or persons responsible for the crime and the motive. We encourage citizens to contact Crime Stoppers if they have any information or can identify the suspect or suspects in this crime. Was there any indication that they were coming to or from the playground here? Currently, the preliminary investigation indicates that the 25-year-old male was the intended target. And, uh, we’re hearing that he may have been the football coach. Um, Sophie B. Right. Do you know anything about that? I can’t confirm that that had anything to do with the 15-year-old, I’m not sure. And the 25-year-old, you say it was a 2525-year-old male. Where was he shot? I’m not entirely sure. Yes. And they were in the vehicle back here that investigators have been examining. So investigators are in the process of gathering information to identify the suspect or suspects in this crime, although both the 15-year-old and the 25-year-old were shot, or I’m not sure, the investigation is still in the early stages and investigators are working to gather information. Last question. Do you know if it was a drive-by or not? I’m not sure if this is still a fluid investigation. All right. All right.
