Last week in a series of raids, police arrested five men in connection with the shooting, but they were later released after the DA'S Office declined to charge them with crimes. Sheriff's officials said prosecutors wanted more investigation before bringing criminal charges.

The investigation is ongoing.



The ATF has posted a $20,000 reward, for any information about the shooting.
