Police say Johnny'ee Barney died during a shootout between two vehicles full of teenagers and young adults. Another man, Adam Thompson, was shot and injured.
Police say Barney and Thompson were both with friends at a party early Saturday morning when a fight broke out and two groups decided to take the disagreement to the Carrs in the 1700 block of Abbott Road about 2:30 a.m.
The two groups included six people in one car and four in the other, police said.
Gunmen in each vehicle let off a spray of bullets. Police later found three handguns in one vehicle and a fourth discarded handgun nearby.
Thompson was treated at a local hospital and released, police say. He had been out on bail from mid-September charges of burglary, criminal mischief and underage drinking, according to court records.
Police have made no arrests.
Police said several of those who were in the vehicles were also present at a Sand Lake high school graduation party in June that ended with 20-year-old Micheal Moschella being severely beaten with a metal object. One teenager was arrested in that incident.
The two incidents are not related, police said, other than that it's a group that likes to go to large parties and drink and that sometimes violence erupts, said police Sgt. Slav Markiewicz.
