Responding officers found three people dead at the scene. A fourth victim died at the hospital days later. The victims are:

  • 30-year-old Georgio Davonta Lee
  • 37-year-old Oleisha Deanna Mears
  • 34-year-old Ashley Merricks
  • 66-year-old Samuel Jones

Gore was initially charged with aggravated murder, but the case was dropped in February.

His relative who was also arrested in connection to the shooting, Antwann Jacque Gore, also had his charges dropped in December. 

Prosecutors later took the case to a grand jury, who charged him with four counts each of aggravated murder and gun charges in an indictment filed on Jan. 5.

Officials say both men are not in custody and remain at large.
