It’s gathered that there were 2 shooting sites — one at a Chipotle Restaurant and another at a nearby Exxon Gas station.

The victim at the Chipotle restaurant was shot several times and the victim at the Exxon was shot once. The identity of the second victim have not been revealed.

The suspect or suspects are still at large and police are on the hunt. So far, the motive is unknown.

Lil Tjay rose to prominence in 2018 with his song “Resume,” and signed to Columbia Records later that year. His stage name is derived from the first letter of his first name and first three letters of his middle name.
