Police reported that the shooting occurred around 10:28 pm on June 30 when the suspects fired shots at Tarpinian-Jachym and two others, which included a 16-year-old male and an adult female.
Last month Mugshots of the two ‘juveniles’ who murdered Eric Tarpinian-Jachym were finally released this weekend after authorities hid their identities for months.

Fox News reported that investigators have stated the shooting was targeted, but Tarpinian-Jachym was not the intended target.
On Thursday it was revealed that police finally arrested the third suspect accused of killing Tarpinian and Zoey Kelley: 18-year-old Naqwan Lucas.
Jeanine Pirro went off on the Democrat DC Council for protecting young criminals.
“We live in a district where all three of these juveniles that I just mentioned are known to the juvenile court. That’s all I’m gonna say. I can’t say more and I want to,” Pirro said in a fiery rebuke.
“But I can tell you this that 2 innocent souls were taken from us in what I believe were predictable homicides based on the behavior of these individuals and the records that everyone knew about!” she said.
Pirro continued, “But the DC Council is more interested in protecting young criminals under the guise of protecting the innocence of youth. It’s time for them to start protecting the citizens of the district, because this is what we’re ending up with!”
“We’re having victims five blocks away, 79 rounds on the ground! This is normal behavior in DC! No more excuses from this council!” Pirro said.
