"There was approximately 60 or 70 shots fired at a crowd," Police Chief Dale McFee said Thursday.
"The video, obviously, is evidence so I can't show it, but it's horrific," he revealed during a police commission meeting.
The gunfire happened outside of the Ertale Lounge near 124 Street and 118 Avenue around 2:45 a.m Saturday. At the scene, police found seven people had been injured, and one later died.
Police identified him on Thursday as 28-year-old Imbert George. He was shot multiple times, an autopsy confirmed.
According to EPS, four of those people had non-life threatening injuries, and two remained in hospital in serious condition.
Mohamod Mohamod, 22, and Said Ibrahim, 23, were each charged with first-degree murder and six counts of discharging a firearm with intent to endanger life.
