However, not making too far down the street, that's when Craig opened fire into the moving vehicle, Greenville police reports.

Green, who was one of the three fellow passengers, was unfortunately struck by one of the bullets. A frightened driver, Castillo frantically came to a stop, as Craig and a local witness immediately approached the scene. Once noticing that Green had been hit, the bystander took the youngster to the ER. Craig and Castillo were absent when authorities arrived.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
