No arrests have been made. No further information about the suspect, nor who was injured was immediately available.
The shooting happened just as World Cup festivities and watch parties have taken over parts of the city. It is not certain the shooting is in any way related to soccer festivities or crowds. However, Spark Social has been hosting ‘futbol’ watch parties, including tonight's Mexico vs. Ecuador match. The shooting happened just as Mexico won their first knockout stage win in 40 years.
Thrive City at Chase Center, just three blocks away, also hosted a well-attended soccer watch party as this shooting took place.
