Rivera-Ramis, who drove away from the apartment after the shooting, may have been targeted by at least one gunman, authorities said. The pair drove to a nearby McDonald's at 1002 S. 78th St., where they called 911.
Rivera-Ramis died before paramedics arrived at the scene.
Sheriff's department detectives said narcotics were involved and that this was not a random shooting.
