Reports stated the victims, three black females ages 22, 32, and 32 suffered from non-life threatening injuries to the arm, leg, and back. The victims were transported by JFRD to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

The victims reported that they were standing with a crowd outside of the Quickway when the incident occurred.

JSO reports that the incident appears to be connected to a large block party that took place earlier in the evening, with a large crowd of people still in the area after the party concluded. Officers state that evidence was located in a wide area encompassing the entire intersection of W. 21st St. and Boulevard, causing the intersection to be closed in all directions for several hours.
