Also killed were store employee Weam Salem, 25, delivery driver Ihab Arafeh, 46, and 17-year-old Alex Spikes, who was believed to be related to one of the suspects. Several others were injured, including a teenage suspect and a woman who remained hospitalized. A store surveillance camera reportedly recorded the shootout.

Three people were charged in connection with the incident: 18-year-old Eric O Nea l, 18-year-old Devon Walker, and 20-year-old Alfred Spikes, each facing four counts of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated battery with a firearm; a judge denied bond at the defendants’ initial court appearance.
