"The suspect driver remained in the driver's seat as two shooters exited the vehicle and fired numerous rounds indiscriminately in the direction of the far parking lot in the east end of the plaza," Price told reporters on Saturday.''

The video jumps to another security camera that caught the two individuals opening fire at the entrance of the plaza.
He said the plaza was busy at the time, teeming with people who scrambled to take cover when gunfire erupted.
Arslan Ahmad, who was visiting a friend in the area and was in the plaza to buy some items, was struck by gunfire. He suffered critical injuries and was transported to the hospital, where he died six days later.''
The suspect vehicle is a newer model white RAV4 with a black roof, black rims, tinted windows and believed to have a vanity plate.''

Price said prior to the shooting, the suspects were driving around the area for several minutes.
"This cowardly act of these individuals firing a hundred-meter distance with pistols is completely ridiculous and dangerous to like dozens of people in that area at the time," the homicide detective said, noting that many stores were open at the time.''
