“Some type of interaction occurred between some of the individuals in the groups when 19-year-old Teathloch Chan physically assaulted one of the adult males from the other group,” police wrote. “There is no indication the two groups knew one another prior to the shooting.”
Police wrote that the alleged assault victim and Ackerman followed Chan into the parking lot, who then produced a gun and fired on Ackerman. Following the shooting, police discovered Chan in a dumpster on King Arthur Court, who was then arrested. The press release states that Chan is held at the Department of Corrections on $250,000 cash performance bail with additional conditions of release.
The department wrote that Chan faces up to 99 years in prison for each of the three murder charges, 20 years for manslaughter, and five years each for the evidence tampering and assault charges. Chan will be arraigned in Superior Court on Tuesday.
