One day after the shooting, police, school and city officials held a press conference and released the first surveillance video, which shows five suspects getting out of a vehicle before they opened fire more than 60 shots at the group of teens as they walked down the street following a scrimmage at Roxborough High School.
After the shooting, police located a light-colored Ford Explorer believed to have been used in the shooting. Inside the car, investigators found a 9mm handgun casing and other evidence.
Captain Jason Smith told reporters on Tuesday that police also recovered a Chevy Impala that they believe was used to "chauffeur shooters back-and-forth to the Ford Explorer."
New video released by police on Wednesday shows clearer images of some of the suspects at a gas station. Police did not say where or when the video surveillance was captured.
This comes one day after authorities released the name and image of 16-year-old Dayron Burney-Thorn, who is wanted in connection with the deadly shooting.
