A 29-year-old, an 18-year-old, and a 17-year-old male all "succumbed to their injuries" from the shooting.

The Winnebago County Coroner confirmed that one of the shooting victims was pronounced dead on the scene of the shooting, and two others died at the hospital.

All three autopsies are planned for tomorrow with further updates expected to be released once those are completed.
