The SWAT team and officers from the 101 Precinct were shown taking the three suspects into custody, however, further news reports have said that they are still looking for suspects, because the three arrested were also wanted for a car theft. The two incidents could be connected, with the suspects wanting to steal a car to get away from the area due to their role in the shooting. Police have not confirmed the three suspects as the shooters, and the investigation will continue.
