Search continues for suspects after fatal cemetery shooting in Montgomery County
At the scene, officers said they found a 29-year-old victim dead.
HORSHAM, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- One person is dead and another is injured following a shooting in a cemetery on Saturday in Montgomery County.
Police in Horsham, Pa. say they were called to Whitemarsh Memorial Gardens around 3 p.m.
Investigators say a group of people were at the cemetery for a birthday celebration at the grave of Tyrek Fairel, who was shot and killed in Norristown back in 2013.
At some point, gunfire erupted. Officers say more than 30 shots were fired.
At the scene, officers said they found 29-year-old Elijah Hawkins dead.
Another victim, identified as 33-year-old Arian Davis, was seriously injured.
No arrests have been made. Police have not said what caused the gunfire.
Action News learned that Hawkins was actually shot along with Fairel in the 2013 gunfire.
This cemetery is surrounded by neighborhoods, and people we spoke with couldn't believe this happened.
"I was shocked. I can't even remember any kind of shooting," said Michael Marolla. "It is just across the street from my house, so it's a little... not a little, it is very frightening."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Horsham police at 215-643-8284 or Montgomery County detectives at 610-226-5553.
