Authorities are now looking for two women in a dark colored SUV, reportedly armed, in connection with the case, the sheriff added.
There is no known motive in the case, authorities said Thursday.

Papini was not home. Nor were the couple's two children -- ages 2 and 4. Her husband told the station that he called their day care center and learned the children hadn't been picked up.
Keith Papini used an app to track down his wife's smartphone, KRCR reported. It was down the street from their home.
"That's when I knew she had been taken or abducted, in my opinion," he told the station. Keith Papini reported his wife missing.
'Best mom I've ever seen'
Sheila Koester, Sherri's older sister, told the station that Papini texted her husband that morning to see if he was coming home for lunch. He wrote back that he wasn't.
Koester and Sherri's sister-in-law, Suzanne Papini, both described the missing woman as a "supermom" who would not disrupt the routine of her children, KRCR reported shortly after the disappearance.
"She is an incredible human being," Suzanne Papini told the station. "Best mom I've ever seen."
Authorities used scent dogs and helicopters to search the area, Bosenko said. They also contacted registered sex offenders.
