Police confirmed one person was killed and a second was critically injured in a shooting in Madison. Officials said it's believed the shooting was targeted.

The incident happened around 3:20 p.m. Saturday in the 1000 block of North Dupont Avenue at the Nashwood Park Apartments.

Witnesses told police three men were inside a black Infinity. The man in the driver's seat was identified as 20-year-old Roy Hunter. The front seat passenger was 18-year-old Javonte Robinson, and an unidentified man was in the backseat.

Reports stated the three were talking before the man in the backseat got out of the car and walked toward a breezeway at the complex.

That's when two suspects went up to the car and fired into the vehicle, hitting both Hunter and Robinson.

Authorities said Robinson passed away at the scene.

Hunter was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in extremely critical condition. According to reports, he is the son of Metro School Board Member Tyese Hunter.

Police said the suspects allegedly pulled the victims out of the car and drove off in the vehicle. The victims' vehicle was later recovered in the 300 block of Rio Vista Drive.

The men were both wearing bandanas to cover their faces. Their images were captured in the surveillance photos seen below.

Officials said they're still working to identify the man that had been in the car with the victims before the shooting.

Anyone with details on this crime or the identities of the suspects has been urged to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
