Investigators say all four victims were inside a truck that was reversing on Chippewa Street when a suspect fired shots. The driver then hit a fire hydrant, causing both driver side doors to be ripped off. The driver then crashed into a home.

Police say Dotson suffered gunshot wounds and was also ejected from the vehicle after the crash. He later died from his injuries at a hospital.

SLMPD shared a few surveillance photos and videos of the wanted suspect. He is seen wearing a hat, shorts and bright-colored shirt that reads “First Row” on the back. Police say the shirt is bright pink and promotes the First Row Art & Design Dept.

Surveillance videos shared by SLMPD show the suspect walking around several parts of the city with a gun in his hand. Police have not determined the identity of the suspect.
