According to Chief Chris Hargett, three men have been arrested in conjunction with the shooting: Victor Barrera, 20, of Russellville; Martin Pedro, 23, of Russellville; and Rogelio Garza, 24, of Russellville. Each was charged with attempted murder.

According to a witness who was in the drive-thru line at KFC, approximately four or five shots were fired. The shooting victim ran toward Russellville Hospital on foot before being picked up by another driver and taken to the hospital. After being treated at Russellville Hospital, he was later transferred to Huntsville.
