LMPD Spokesperson Alicia Smiley said responding officers located two victims who had been shot during some type of dispute. One of the victims, a man, died from his injuries at the scene.
He was identified by the coroner's office Sunday afternoon as 20-year-old Tashawn Feldman.
A second victim, a woman believed to be in her 30s, was taken to the hospital in critical condition where she remains at last check.
Smiley said it is unclear whether the two victims were part of the dispute or bystanders hit by stray gunfire.

So many people are visibly shaken or in tears as they try to figure out what happened, who was shot, and if any victims are family members or friends. One person who lives nearby reports hearing ~9 gunshots. @WDRBNews pic.twitter.com/oh0ff9oEwO
