Officers were investigating a prior shooting that happened at Water and Highland at around 10:30 p.m. when they heard dozens of gunshots from the area of Water and Juneau, about a block away, and hundreds of people running.
Officers saw a number of people firing guns and running from the area, and according to a criminal complaint, several of the bullets were fired in their direction.
According to the criminal complaint, Jackson, Murry and Siller were together on Water Street when Siller told police he saw a 20-year-old man he has a long-standing dispute with.
