Investigators say the victims were believed to be targeted and the shooting was most likely gang-related. The gunman reportedly fled on a moped.
The other three victims are expected to survive.
Police Commissioner Sewell arrived on the scene late Sunday afternoon.
Many people in the neighborhood were outside enjoying the day - in fact, there was a packed street fair just a few blocks away from the shooting.
One resident says he was inside watching football when he heard the shots.
