Riley said police are searching for one, unnamed suspect. Police are also investigating a potential second suspect who helped the shooter get away in a car.

Riley said police are using a nickname, given by witnesses, to identify the suspect.

The incident occurred just before 5 p.m. when two men got into an argument over a game of dominoes, witnesses said.

Witnesses, who asked to remain anonymous, said the shooter threatened to stab the victim before shooting him twice, once at close range and a second time while the victim attempted to run away.
