Police and the district attorney’s office said they expect to release more information later.
The shooting rocked the quiet section of Edgely Road. Neighbors said they heard loud noises shortly before officers flooded the scene, but they couldn’t be sure they were gunshots.
Joe Lepley, who lives a few doors down from the site of the shooting, said he saw officers rush to the area. An officer told him a person in the car was dead.

The upset family of the deceased man arrived at the scene around 9 p.m. and talked with investigators, said Lepley and a source.
Detectives fanned out along the roadway seeking clues that could help their investigation.
