The investigation found that at about 11:30 p.m., a citizen heard a “commotion” in the alleyway and spotted a group of people running away from the scene. The citizen heard someone call for help and went outside to investigate. The citizen located the injured male and called 911.

Police later received video surveillance of what happened and after some more investigating, a person of interest was identified. LPS attended the subject’s home and found eight people inside.

They were all arrested, as well as three others who arrived at the home in a vehicle.

The investigation is on-going, and all subjects are in custody.

LPS said that preliminary evidence suggests the incident was not a random crime as some of the people involved are known to each other.
