"There is no evidence to suggest that Ms. Duncan, Mr. Stubbs or the wounded victim were the targets of this incident," Adams said.

No arrests had been made in the shooting as of Tuesday afternoon. 

Aziza Restaurant could not immediately be reached for comment.

An argument broke out downstairs before gunfire rang out and Duncan was hit by a stray bullet, her family said. 

"People started yelling, telling people to 'get down, everybody got down,' and my mom got up," her son Shamon Payton told ABC 7. "And then, she got hit ... Bystanders came and they tried to help."

The sheriff's office told the outlet that their "hearts [were] broken for the family of Deputy Shamone Duncan."

Duncan is survived by two daughters, her son and her granddaughter, her family said.
