A man is dead after a fight ended in a shooting outside a bar Sunday afternoon in Lawrenceville, police said.
Police said the fight, which involved several men, started in a parking lot outside a bar in the 400 block of Gwinnett Drive just after 1 p.m.
The fight moved two doors down from the bar before one of the people pulled out a gun and shot a man, Lawrenceville police spokesman Lt. Jake Parker said. The victim later died at a hospital.
Police have not publicly identified the victim out of “valid concern of retaliation against the witnesses and others,” Parker said.
Three people were detained by police but have since been released, he added.
No other details about the victim or what led to the fight and subsequent shooting have been released.
