Multiple bystanders attempted to provide first aid, however Flores was pronounced deceased by paramedics. A preliminary investigation indicated Flores and another male were walking from their home to a nearby gas station when they were approached by two unknown males. One suspect approached both men and grabbed them by their collars while yelling at them. The confrontation resulted in the male suspect putting Flores in a headlock and then shooting him. Both suspects then fled the scene on foot. The male with the victim initially fled on foot for his safety, but then returned to the scene. The suspects were described as one black male (shooter) and one Hispanic male with long hair.
