One woman was shot at in the same block on April 26; she also was not injured. Police reported the gunfire came from a white car in that case as well.
The city recorded eight homicides last year, a decade high. In February 2022, two people were killed within about a mile of Friday's shooting, and those investigations are ongoing. The city has recorded four homicides total this year.
