Investigators said the victims had been standing outside on a porch when they were shot. 

The three victims were taken to the hospital in stable condition. 

A little after that, police said officers found a vehicle crash on East Street and East North Avenue. Inside, they said they found a man who had been shot in the back. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition and ultimately died, police said.
