The second victim, a 29 year old female, was also shot and died in hospital of her injuries early Sunday morning.
She has been identified as Ruma Amar, who was coming out of the bowling alley when the shots were fired. Choe confirming Amar was an innocent bystander.
"We are also confident in saying that there is no relationship between Mr. Ngo and Mrs. Amar and that Mr. Ngo was the intended target when Mrs. Amar was shot."
Amar had been at the bowling alley with her husband and younger sister.
As for suspects involved in the shooting, Choe confirmed police are looking for a trio.
"We are looking for 3 suspects, two of them believed to be armed with hand guns."
