The incident happened Wednesday outside a restaurant in the 600 block of St. James Street.
The Major Crimes Unit continued with their investigation and identified a man and woman as suspects in the case.
Police say on Jan. 21 around 9:00 p.m., the two suspects were seen driving a vehicle at the corner of Dale Boulevard and Kersey Bay.
Officers pulled them over and arrested both suspects without incident.
The next day, a search warrant was executed at a home in the first 100 block of Dellwood Crescent. Investigators seized suspected cocaine and oxycodone from the residence, as well as $18,500 in cash.
Investigators learned that on the date of the incident, a group of suspects got into a ridesharing vehicle, but were told by the driver there were too many passengers for the car.
