Authorities have released the name of the man who was shot to death on the AMC Theater parking lot in Evansville. WNIN’s John Gibson has the update:

The Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office says 23-year-old Ethan Stenftenagel died at the scene of Tuesday evening’s shooting.

Coroner Bryan Underwood scheduled an autopsy for Thursday.

The Sheriff’s Office says three suspects have been arrested: 19-year-old Kardae Langley, 19-year-old Deshawndre Brown, and 18-year-old Pierce Butler.

Investigators say the shooting happened when Brown attempted to rob Stenftenagel, who was trying to sell the men vaping cartridges.

All three suspects face murder and robbery charges, more counts are expected, and additional arrests are possible.

Sheriff Noah Robinson called the shooting a “senseless tragedy” and said anyone who helped the suspects will be referred to the prosecutor’s office.
