The attack was not random, according to investigators. The investigation remains active.
A 19-year-old male from Windsor has been charged with first degree murder.
Police have said they are unsure how many suspects were in the involved vehicle. However, two more suspects, wearing distinctive clothing, were involved in the physical attack. Police have asked residents for help in identifying them.
