The shooting occurred near Lemon Hill, the site of the FIFA Fan Festival, which runs concurrently with the World Cup from June 11 to July 19.
Police said the conflict likely began after a Dodge SRT was stolen and the owner tracked it to Fairmount Park, 6ABC reported. Investigators are trying to determine how many people were involved, where the car was stolen from, and how the conflict escalated into gunfire.
The Dodge was not found at scene, 6ABC reported. A black BMW damaged by bullets was left at the park.
Due to the fan festival, Sedgley Drive was scheduled to close between Poplar and Kelly drives at 6 a.m. Tuesday and remain closed until July 26.
