Newly obtained Ring camera footage captured the sound of multiple gunshots during the incident. The footage shows gunfire striking a nearby parked car, shattering its rear windshield, while a bullet penetrated the window of a neighbor’s home inches from where she was sitting. Investigators are attempting to determine the motive behind the shooting and whether Banks was acquainted with the perpetrators.
MPD is currently searching for three suspects who were last seen fleeing the scene in a silver sedan. Police are asking anyone with information regarding the shooting to contact the Metropolitan Police Department.
