Investigators found seven shell casings in the area where Holloway-Bryant was found. They believe he was chased by the shooter, the news outlet reported. No arrests have been made.
The shootings came days after a judge granted an injunction preventing the city from moving forward with a firearms ban at city parks and recreation facilities.

Mayor Jim Kenney issued an executive order last month following the killing of a city recreation worker. The injunction stemmed from a lawsuit filed by Gun Owners of America against the city.
