Officers spoke with witnesses and observed video surveillance. A verbal argument between the victim and others ensued, which then turned into a physical altercation between the victim and offender. The fight was broken up and the victim was kicked out of the location. In the parking lot, the victim got into another fight with an unknown subject when the first offender, who had also exited the premises, produced a handgun and shot the victim.
