Four of the victims killed during a series of shootings at Atlanta-area massage parlors on Tuesday night have been identified, according to media reports.

Delaina Ashley Yaun, 33, Paul Andre Michels, 54, Xiaojie Tan, 49, and Daoyou Feng, 44, were identified as the victims killed at Young's Asian Massage Parlor in Cherokee County, according to a press release from the county's sheriff's office distributed by the Atlanta Police Department.

A fifth person, 30-year-old Elcias Hernandez, was injured in the shooting.

Four other victims were killed in shootings at separate spas on Tuesday night. Three women were fatally shot at Gold Spa in Atlanta, and another person was killed at the nearby Aromatherapy Spa, authorities said.

Six of the eight victims in the shooting were Asian women. Foreign-ministry officials in South Korea said on Wednesday that four of the women killed were of Korean descent.

Robert Aaron Long, 21, was arrested after the shootings. Officials have not revealed a motive, but authorities said at a press conference Wednesday that Long claimed to have a sex addiction.

Police said the investigation is still ongoing, and that it's too soon to say whether the killings were racially motivated. The series of shootings came amid a rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans across the nation.
