About 3:29 a.m., a man reportedly fired at least four shots at a Lyft vehicle with a driver and two passengers inside. The man fled, and the Lyft driver flagged down a nearby officer. For the next hour, police searched for the man who was believed to be armed with a silver revolver. They're still searching for that weapon, which they said he periodically reloaded. The man eventually had made his way to an area outside the Kindred Church. At 5:22, a sniper fired a single gunshot and killed the man.
