Two brothers, Jose and Maximo Aguilar, arrived at a meeting place at the above address with the intention to have a fist fight.  Once they arrived, both victims were shot with a high-powered rifle by an unknown suspect believed to be hiding on a rooftop.  Jose died at the scene.  Maximo was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased.  Two other victims, a 23-year-old male and a 18-year-old female, were also wounded in the gunfire and were transported to an area hospital in stable condition.  

Two or possibly more suspects fled in a vehicle described as possibly a black Chevrolet Tahoe last seen headed southbound on Maxey Road.
