Police said the incident took place at about 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 1, when a gunman was dropped off by a black SUV near a highway overpass in the northeastern portion of the city.
The gunman allegedly went to a homeless encampment and opened fire before getting picked up in a getaway car.
Homicide Lt. Jason Johansson said it is believed the shooting was planned in advance.
