Officers found a black Corvette that crashed and was riddled with bullets. Investigators said a 28-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds died inside the car.
A woman who was sitting near a bus stop was also killed as a result of the crash. The impact threw her dozens of yards away, and police did not immediately discover her body.
Her friend, Asia Rogers, did not want to identify her but rushed to the scene after the crash.
“I’m hurt, because I have known her for so many years,” she told Channel 2’s Tom Regan.
Investigators believe the shooting started near the intersection. A witness driving a red car who was caught in the middle of the shooting told investigators someone opened fire on the victim’s car and drove off.
Crime scene tech found shell casings scattered in the street.
Investigators are working on a motive.
