Police asked the public for help Monday in identifying a man who shot and killed a 9-year-old boy, his father and another man in San Bernardino last week.

The victims exited Superior Liquor in the 2900 block of North Del Rosa Avenue about 9:13 p.m. Friday and began walking east, a news release from the San Bernardino Police Department stated.

The gunman, who was waiting outside the store, followed them before approaching and firing several rounds at the victims from behind, according to the news release.
