A 19-year-old man died Sunday after a shooting outside a Gwinnett County club, police said.

He was identified Monday as Domiquo Riley of Snellville, according to Gwinnett police.

Police first responded to a person shot call just before 1 a.m. at Midnight Blu Café on Jimmy Carter Boulevard, Gwinnett police spokesman Cpl. Deon Washington said.

A woman was shot in the leg and taken to Gwinnett Medical Center. She is expected to survive, Washington said.

Several minutes later, police received another report of shots fired at the Shell gas station at 5535 Jimmy Carter Boulevard. That’s where they found Riley dead inside a car with a single gunshot wound to the chest, Washington said.

Police believe he was shot at the Midnight Blu Café and driven to the Shell gas station.

One witness told Channel 2 Action News he saw several people shooting and that it was like the Wild West.
