Police said two other suspects, who have not been charged at this point, were in Hoefler's truck during the drive-by shooting.

Court records show Hoefler told police he was at a party in Milwaukee early that Thursday night. He said one of the suspects was watching one of the victim's Snapchat. That suspect proposed coming to Waukesha to mess with the victims. 

Hoefler told police he rode in the passenger seat, while his friend drove all three of them to the victim's locations near Wisconsin and Maple.

The next day, police used Flock cameras to track Hoefler's truck and arrested him.
