The victim who was killed in this incident has been identified as 18-year-old Carmelo Silva Jr.

The other 18-year-old and 21-year-old were taken to an area hospital with what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries.

A crowd congregated along the perimeter of the police tape Saturday evening. Some of the people were visibly grieving; telling FOX6 News they are family members of at least one of the people involved in this incident.
