Police believe the man pictured was involved in both shootings.

FOX 5 spoke to the McKibbins' family at the scene. His grandmother, Joann, was devastated at the sudden loss of her grandson. She vowed to catch the person responsible.

"You see this lady's face right here? Look in my eyes," she said. "I'm not going to ever let it happen again, so you better turn yourself in."

In May, investigators determined the incident began as an argument between a large group of people that erupted into gunfire with multiple shooters and dozens of bullets flying.
