The shootout happened about 6:30 p.m. Monday at the Convenient Food Mart on Euclid Avenue and Avalon Road.
Three cars pulled into the lot one after the other and surrounded the two SUVs. Two men got out and opened fire with an AK-47, the other with a handgun with an extended magazine clip, according to police reports.
The people in the SUVs returned fire, according to police reports. Someone in the red Jeep Compass tried to drive off during the attack, firing at the three cars.
The gunman kept firing at the SUV. Their bullets flew across Euclid Avenue and shattered the window of a Popeye's restaurant, police said.
The gunmen jumped back into their car and all three cars sped off, police reports say. None of those shooters have been identified and no other arrests have been made.
The Jeep drove a block down the street and turned into the Save-A-Lot grocery store parking lot. Police found a bloody loaded handgun with an extended magazine inside. The inside was covered in blood, police reports say. The outside was riddled with bullet holes, as was the SUV that remained in the convenience store parking lot.
