The three victims of one shooting Friday night in Little Rock are all still alive, police said Saturday, a day after saying one of them had died.

In a news release, Little Rock police said Bilal Muhammad, 19; Bilijah Muhammad, 18; and an unnamed minor were all shot Friday night in the area of 13th and Rice streets sometime before 9:46 p.m.

The release said the minor and Bilal Muhammad were taken to hospitals and are expected to live. Bilijah Muhammad is listed in critical condition.
