Investigators have not made an arrest, police say, though homicide detectives are leading the probe into the killing.
Earlier that day, around 12:30 p.m., police responded to the Sunflex gas station at Northwest 17th Avenue and 79th Street in West Little River, where they found an adult man gunned down inside a car.
Video footage shows a green sedan riddled with bullet holes. Loved ones identified the slain man as Edward Bernard Bailey, a 53-year-old father of six.
