According to Sgt. Dennis Wolfford with HCSO Homicide, multiple people, including Syrie Jr., allegedly fired shots toward the complex. That was when deputies discovered the two teens, and a 20-year-old with gunshot wounds. All three were transported to area hospitals.
The two 17-year-olds later died at the hospital. The 20-year-old man, who Wolfford said was shot twice, is expected to survive.
Multiple people were detained for questioning as authorities work to figure out what happened.
“We do not know who was shooting first. We do have possible shooters detained,” Sgt. Wolfford said. “We are still working to figure out who exactly fired the shots. We will be interviewing them and reviewing surveillance video to determine how this went down.”
