The Weekly knows the identity of the victim, but is withholding his identity per the family's request at this moment. More details to come as they become available…

UPDATE, 9:23 A.M.:
The shooting happened at the Colony Park apartment homes, a relatively new development not far from rundown apartments. Residents tell the Weekly that the two suspects broke into a garage near the park area of that complex and tried to take off with a washer and another machine–just roll off with them. Police came in and asked one of them what's up; he took off running, only to get a big ol' bite from a K9 unit.



As for the shooting? Officers fired 19 times at the getaway truck, which got away. No report yet if he was hit.
