It was after two groups decided to meet at the park to settle a disagreement.
“Our suspect got out of the car,” said Lt. Justin Wyckoff. “He was a passenger in a car we were told so far. He fired a couple of shots. The first shot was over the head. It appears that our victim tried to intervene and wrestle the gun and was shot in the process.”
