Troopers determined that Gumbs and the driver had been followed by Sivongxay and Rivera, who opened fire on the victims. Deputies took over the investigation thereafter.

No information was released about what led up to the shooting or why Sivongxay and Rivera were following the victims.

Both men face charges of second-degree murder.
