Authorities say that investigators are working to determine what led to the shooting, and that they believe Khoury and a potential suspect knew each other. Khoury did not live in the building where he was shot.

Christensen told media on Tuesday that investigators believe Khoury's death could be related to a non-fatal shooting that took place on the 4800 block of 38th Street South the previous Friday.
