(BLOOMINGTON) - A Halloween party turned deadly in Bloomington leaving one dead and two injured.
Police are still searching for the gunman who killed an Indianapolis man and shot two others at Eagle Pointe Golf Resort in Bloomington over the weekend.
The shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. during an Indiana University fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi Halloween event - "A Nightmare in B-Town."
Police say a fight escalated into shots being fired.
21-year-old Kemontie Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene. Monroe County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Steve Hale said Johnson was shot in the neck and body multiple times.
Johnson was a football star at Lawrence North High School. He graduated in 2016 and became an entrepreneur and started his own clothing line last year.
Two other people were shot at the party. One of the victims was shot in the head and is suffering from extensive brain swelling and is listed in critical condition at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
The other victim was treated and later released
Hale said several hundred people were at the party and many were trampled as they ran from the shots.
"We do believe that the shooter came to Monroe County to attend the party and is not a local resident. We do not feel that anyone located near the area where the event took place would be in any form of additional danger," authorities wrote on the Monroe County Sheriff's Department Facebook page.
The shooter fled from the scene before police arrived.
The sheriff's department says the case has been very difficult to investigate because very few of the witnesses stayed to give statements and those that did could not provide many details.
