Oct. 2 homecoming shooting 

The backstory:

The incident began with a fight on the stadium grounds that police broke up. Authorities said several people involved were making gang signs during the disturbance, and multiple people were ejected from the stadium, including Aden and another individual.

As the two walked through the parking lot, a black Hyundai Sonata and blue Subaru Legacy entered the lot. Several people got out of the vehicles, and a fight involving around 10 people broke out between the groups, according to court documents.

Charges state that surveillance video allegedly showed Adam, the driver of the Sonata, returning to his vehicle before coming back to the fight and firing a gun at Aden and another person, striking both.

The shooting prompted officials to stop the football game and evacuate the stadium.

Investigators believe those involved in the fight and shooting are associated with gangs.
