HPD says it all started when a gunman walked up to the first victim and said something along the lines of, ‘Do you remember me?’ before opening fire, and shooting him.

Afterward, authorities say the first gunman left the scene and was walking along Gray Street near Main when a second gunman came out from behind a restaurant and began shooting at him.

At some point during that shooting, another innocent person was wounded by the second round of stray bullets. That innocent person was said to be a rideshare driver.
