MORRISON, CO — A police search following a parking lot shooting incident that injured three members of rapper Schoolboy Q’s entourage led to a lockdown of all roads leading to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre here late on June 19 while police tried to find the shooter. Although Schoolboy Q had been in the car at the time of the shooting, he was uninjured. The shooting occurred at about 10:30, as the concert featuring Nas and Lotus along with Schoolboy Q came to and end. The shooter remained at large despite a roadblock and car-by-car search of exiting concertgoers that continued until about 3 a.m.

Police did not speculate on a motive for the shooting but noted that it did not look like a random incident. The driver of the SUV carrying Schoolboy Q, a.k.a. Quincy Hanley, along with the injured passengers fled the scene but was stopped at a Denver intersection. News photos showed one of the SUV’s occupants being questioned near the damaged vehicle by police after the three injured passengers had been transported to the hospital. None of the sustained injuries were life-threatening.
