The deadly shooting happened about 11 a.m. Friday in the 4300 block of Fifth Avenue South.
Multiple shots rang out about 11 a.m. Friday in the 4400 block of Fifth Avenue South. That location is the Oak Tree Apartments.
“We believe all of this stemmed from a robbery gone wrong,’’ said Officer Truman Fitzgerald. “Two of the victims both have ski masks on, the Pooh Sheisty mask.” He said detectives don’t believe Friday’s robbery attempt was a crime of opportunity – the person being robbed was likely targeted.Fitzgerald said Friday’s victims are second and third homicide victims this week who were wearing the “Pooh Sheisty” face masks when they were killed. A 19-year-old killed in a Saturday night shootout outside East Lake Park was also wearing the same mask, he said.
“These are two men in 90-degree weather wearing ski masks,” Fitzgerald said. “You tell us what you think they were up to. That’s what we’re dealing with.”Fitzgerald said the narrative so far this summer has been “broad daylight crimes.”
