When officers arrived, they learned that several of the people involved left the location.

A short time later, a person believed to have been involved in the altercation was located running into the area of South 8th and A Street.  Police were able to detain him in the area of South 9th Avenue and B Street after a short foot pursuit.  While he was being taken into custody it was discovered that he had stopped breathing.  Efforts were made to resuscitate him, but officers were unsuccessful.
