The preliminary investigation determined on August 25, 2023, at around 5:00 am, the dark sedan pictured in the video drove down the 2700 block of Swanson Street. Two unknown suspects in the vehicle circled the block and stopped behind a parked vehicle occupied by two men. The suspects exited their vehicle and immediately began to shoot at the parked vehicle.
