An eyewitness tells police that an argument led to the gunfire.
"We do have a witness that stated there was some sort of argument that led to gunfire, and then the three victims went in at least two separate vehicles and were transported to two separate hospitals," said Small.
So far, no arrests have been made in either shooting.
