The vehicle continued southbound at a high rate of speed. The sedan lost control and crashed in the cemetery. Two of the occupants fled the area while the other occupant remained at the scene. One fleeing occupant was apprehended. The third occupant remains at large. Police say both juveniles were under the influence of alcohol.

The juvenile who was shot remains in critical but stable condition. The silver SUV was later found and the driver was apprehended without incident. The other subjects of the SUV remain at large.
