Skrabek said she doesn't know if there was a connection between the two groups.

It doesn't appear robbery was a motive, although "details are coming forward that might have played into things," she said.

"The first interaction was really happenstance where these two parties came upon each other in the area," Skrabek said.

Police are still combing through reports and footage and looking for witnesses or anyone else who was involved.
