"It appears that our shooters walked right up to this vehicle, fired multiple shots, so this appears to be an execution due to the fact the car was hit so many times," Chief Inspector Scott Small said. 

Police say they found 31 spent shell casings from two semi-automatic guns at the scene. There's no word on a motive for the shooting.
