The shooting unfolded around 2:50 a.m. on Saturday, as drivers performed donuts and other stunt maneuvers in the lot near the Ross store, drawing a large crowd.
The incident occurred during an illegal “sideshow,” a gathering where drivers take over parking lots or streets for reckless stunts, and often, violence.
Videos circulating on social media captured the rapid bursts of gunfire and the panic that followed.
