At the time, GRPD Chief Eric Winstrom that it appeared that the shooter was in a separate vehicle that left the area.

“One of the things that we’re looking at is the possibility that this is crime-related, maybe drug-related because this is somewhat, actually, it’s a very safe area, and it’s somewhat secluded from eyes,” Winstrom previously said . “The potential being that this was the location chosen by individuals to meet up for some sort of illicit activity. It’s something that we’re looking into and it’s a possibility.”

Police declined to release the victim’s name or any information about a suspect.
