Police said he suffered blunt force trauma, but details about the nature of his injuries were not immediately available.
Anaheim Police are still reviewing surveillance video in the surrounding area and they believe these are connected.
“There was a large fight that broke out that preceded the shooting, and we believe they were parties of the fight but we are not disclosing their relationship in any way,” Sgt. Jon McClintock of the Anaheim Police Department said. “We believe the fight might have started in the Gardenwalk potentially at a local club but we are still investigating that and aren’t 100% sure that’s the case.”
