The victim, who was later identified as Huey (née Lawrence Franks Jr.), was pronounced dead shortly after the arrival.

"He enjoyed life," Huey's first manager Enrico Washington told STLToday.com. "Just happy about life….You're talking about a young man who still had a lot of life to live."

According to the release, a second victim, a 21-year-old man, also arrived at the Ferguson Police Department and was later transported to a local hospital for "treatment of non-life threatening injuries."

At this time, there is no viable description of the suspect(s) or the vehicle.
