When he drove up to the three, he said he believed one of his potential customers may have been involved in an incident prior to his arrival.
He said two males approached his vehicle and had a conversation with one of his patrons and then walked away.
Not long after, the driver heard sounds of gunfire and the patrons quickly exited his vehicle.
The driver also left the area to contact police.
Investigators believe this was a targeted incident.
