Love approached the vehicle dressed as an old woman and pulled a handgun from a plastic grocery bag firing multiple shots at his ex-girlfriend. The victim was struck three times and when her brother attempted to come to her aid Love shot him once in the face.
Witnesses described seeing Love dressed in a brown dress and stockings knotted at the knee, he also had a wig and mask as he ran towards the vehicle.
