One person was killed and three others were injured in a shooting in the parking lot of a Best Buy in Plantation Saturday night.

According to Det. Robert Rettig with the Plantation Police Department, four people were exiting the Best Buy when another group approached them. At some point, two people got shot.
One of the victims, who was initially listed as in critical condition, succumbed to his injuries and died late Saturday night while at the hospital.

Additionally, two bystanders — one inside the store and the other outside — were also shot, Rettig said. They are both in stable condition.
Footage from the scene showed blood on the pavement and that bullets had hit the glass of the store's entrance.
It remains unclear what led up to the shooting.

Plantation police say the targeted victims are uncooperative in this case, and therefore the motive for this shooting is still unclear.
"We're devastated by the violence that took place outside of our Sawgrass store last night," reads a statement from Best Buy. "Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and employees, and we're thankful to our store leaders who quickly called the authorities and locked down the store. Our hearts are with the customers who were injured and impacted."
The suspects fled the scene, and no one has been taken into custody.
This case is active and currently under investigation. Check back with NBC6 for updates.
