Unexpected shooting ordeal

According to Staff Sgt. Kevin Dyrgas, the shooting might be targeted. No one is in custody for having a connection to the incident. The police have not identified the offender yet and it is not a random event.

A woman was taken in for questioning from the shooting site. The road between 45th Street and 46th Street were cordoned off with crime-scene tape and traffic was diverted. The investigators are talking to witnesses and canvasing the businesses in the area.

The identity of the victim is expected to be released after completion of the autopsy early this week.
