The victim, identified only as a man in his late teens or early 20s, was still conscious when officers arrived. He was rushed to the hospital and is listed in critical condition.

The suspects were a group of men who may have gotten into some kind of dispute with the victim. Police say the group of 4 to 5 men fled in two vehicles, a white BMW and a white Dodge Charger.

It appears that the suspects and victim did not know each other.
