According to the police, the teenager was grazed by a bullet and was treated at a local hospital. He was later released. Maple Heights Police Chief Todd Hansen said they do not believe the 13-year-old boy was targeted in the shooting.

The married couple managed to escape and walked to their car. According to the police, Iverson followed and confronted them in the parking lot, then fired into their car, resulting in the death of his sister, Mercedes.
Police said Norbert got out of the car and fled to a bathroom at the park pavilion, with Norbert chasing after him. Norbert was found shot dead in the bathroom by Iverson.
Iverson fled the scene immediately after killing his sister and brother-in-law. Police later captured him.
