Beppler was fatally wounded and died in the street. The second victim, Neugebauer said, was transported to Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center and is in stable condition.
Neugebauer said the victims are connected by family relation. He said as police search for the shooter, evidence reviewed so far indicates the shooting was not a random act, and there is no danger to the public.
The Johnstown Police Department is the lead investigative agency working to identify, locate and arrest the suspect. Multiple law enforcement agencies assisted at the scene of the shooting, which was called in at 3:38 a.m. Saturday, a Cambria County 911 report shows.
Neugebauer said if any members of the public have information that could lead to identifying the shooter, then he urges them to contact the Johnstown Police Department.
The shooting marks the second around the location of Liquid Currency in the span of a year.
