The grieving father of one of the victims interrupted the news conference in tears, screaming that those responsible "killed a good kid" and "must burn." "We know that are our intended target was most likely in front of the establishment when the shooting took place. And that's what we're trying to work now with our investigators," Aguiar said. Meanwhile, a separate shooting on Friday night killed one and injured six others about 13 miles away. And authorities were calling on the public to help identify the shooters.
