The man who survived told investigators that they were driving in the area when a vehicle started tailgating the pair and following them into the parking lot.

The woman, identified as Alyssa Leonard, got out of the passenger seat. That's when the suspect opened fire, hitting both Leonard and the driver.

Police tracked down the vehicle involved, and the survivor of the shooting identified Wilson as the gunman.
