Anthony Charles fell to the ground. Lawrence said he looked back and saw the car stopped, and a male (name unknown), who was wearing a dark colo-red hoodie, exited the car, went up to Anthony Charles and discharged several rounds at him. The suspect quickly entered the car, which drove away, then turned north on Smyth Street at a fast rate and disappeared” Lawrence told the police.
