The Times reported that the suspect, on a bike, is black, and the victims are Latino: Authorities say there have been black-versus-Latino gang conflicts in the area.

The father, said by City News to be 24, was stabilized at a hospital, according to the paper: He had been cradling the boy in his arms during the shooting.

The suspect was described as a 15- to 17-year-old boy, police told CNS. He was still on the loose.
