The shooting took place in the 2800 block of Galilee Avenue, where Kanye Marshall and Rodney Lovelace, a 27-year-old male, were fatally shot. A third individual, a 28-year-old male, was critically injured in the same incident. The police were called to the scene around 7:20 p.m. after receiving reports of a "man down." Upon arrival, they found one of the wounded individuals and later learned that two others had taken themselves to Vista East Medical Center.
