Officials say that the man and his girlfriend were standing in line behind the suspected male shooter, waiting to enter the haunted house. The suspected shooter reportedly would not move and accused the victim of attempting to cut in line ahead of him.
After the victim and suspect exchanged words, the victim told his girlfriend that he was going to his vehicle, police say. The suspect also walked to the parking lot, separately from the victim.
Authorities say witnesses reported hearing shots fired and saw a blue sedan quickly flee the scene.
The victim was reportedly shot in the neck, chest and side. He was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Officials describe the suspect as a thin Black man standing about 6 feet tall with a medium complexion. He was seen wearing an orange hooded sweatshirt and jeans.
