Despite life-saving measures, the man lying in the street died from his gunshot wounds. The man and woman in the SUV were taken by ambulance to area hospitals. 

The preliminary investigation indicates the man found lying in a street and another man approached the SUV on foot. The man later found in the street went to the driver’s side door which was open prior to the shooting. 

The man in the SUV then backed the vehicle up, dragging the man found on the street with the driver’s side door. Police say the second man that approached the SUV began firing bullets at the vehicle before fleeing the scene on foot. 

Police say the man dragged by the SUV ran into the street where he fell and later died. Officers found a gun next to the man killed in the shooting and a firearm in the SUV. 

No arrests have been made. The triple shooting is being investigated as a homicide, police say.
