He is being sought for questioning in a shooting spree that wounded three people in addition to the three who were killed.

Those killed in the attack include a 16-year-old , Leneasha Northington, who was in the parking lot when at least two gumen opened fire for reasons as yet unexplained.

At a press conference Monday afternoon, Calcagno said police hoped that as partygoers recovered from the shock of witnessing the shooting, some of them would offer information leading to an arrest.
