The shooting, which took place on June 11, claimed the life of 18-year-old Marcus Thompson, and left three others, ranging in age from 16 to 21 years old, with serious injuries; however, the three other people involved did survive, police added.
โOur hearts go out to Thompsonโs loved ones, and we will continue to seek justice for him,โ JSO said.
