Around 7:45 a.m., crime lab technicians continued to process the crime scene and evidence, which included two electric scooters and a trail of blood that was tracked from the middle of E. Redwood Street up to Hotel RL on the corner of Calvert Street.

A press release states that when police arrived at the scene, they found two men with gunshot wounds and took them to nearby hospitals. One of the victims, 25-year-old Ryan Harris was pronounced dead, while the second 29-year-old victim was listed in critical but stable condition.
