When officers arrived, both the suspect and the victim had left the scene. 

Police said surveillance video from the business showed the suspect and another man physically fighting in the parking lot while the suspect was holding what appeared to be a firearm. The suspect left the area in a car before officers arrived. 

Police said there did not appear to be any visible injuries to either man in the video. Investigators also said the suspect and victim appeared to know each other and that the incident is not considered random. 

At about 2:59 a.m., officers located the suspect vehicle back in the area of the original business. Police said the vehicle fled north on 15th Avenue East at high speed after its occupants noticed officers. No traffic stop had been initiated. 

Additional officers searching the area immediately located the vehicle after it had collided with a house in the 1400 block of Fourth Street East. 

Police said the occupants of the home were not injured, but the collision caused significant property damage. 

An initial search of the vehicle found a loaded sawed-off shotgun, which police believe had been used in the original offence. 

A third male suspect fled the scene and, according to the latest update from police, has not been located.
