Witnesses reportedly told police the shooting was a drive-by. Officers closed off the area for the investigation and found more than two dozen bullet casings.

It is believed the suspects drove away from the shooting in a light-colored SUV.

At the time of the initial investigation, police had no evidence linking the suspects to the victims, and the victims were reportedly walking at the time of the shooting.

The investigation continues –and detectives hope anyone with additional information contacts them at the SPD Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000.
