While enroute, central dispatch told officers that friends had loaded the victim into a car and were headed to a hospital. 

Additional officers were dispatched to the hospital where the victim and friends arrived a short time later. 

Meanwhile, officers arrived on E. Virginia and found shell casings and more witnesses.
