At this stage, the available information does not identify a suspect or establish a motive for the shooting.

Investigators will likely work to reconstruct what happened before, during and immediately after the gunfire. Evidence from the apartment, witness information and other investigative material could help authorities establish a timeline and determine who was responsible.

Until investigators release additional findings, speculation about the motive, circumstances or identity of anyone potentially responsible should be avoided.
