A third victim was also taken to an area hospital. A witness, Larry Bell, told KCRG,

They was having a little conflict or whatever and then, you know, it was cool at first. But, the one guy went to go get in his car, the other guy just started-- man, he was shooting at him but he was saying something about, you know, what goes around comes around."
