OCOEE, Fla. (AP) – Authorities say one teenager is dead and another injured after a fight ended in a shooting in Ocoee.

Orlando Sgt. Daniel Brady said in a news release that the incident happened early Sunday. Brady says there was a large group of people gathered in a parking lot when the fight broke out and numerous gunshots were fired.

Brady says it appears the victims were attempting to leave the area when a car pulled up to the victims’ vehicle, firing shots.

Authorities have identified the teenager who was killed as 17-year-old Norris Daquan Adams. Adams, who was a passenger in the car, was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Brady says a 16-year-old passenger was also injured, but is expected to survive.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the shooting.
