Emilio Morales doesn’t know the family but frequents the 11 Lounge. He was leaving when the gunshots rang out.
“Everybody was like, ‘Oh my god.’ Everybody was running,” he said.
Morales told Thomas he got to his car but noticed a man’s body next to it.
“I don’t know who it was. I don’t know why they killed him,” Morales said.
Gwinnett police haven’t publicly identified the victim, but family members said he was 22 years old and came to the 11 Lounge with his 19-year-old brother and friend.
It is the second deadly shooting that police investigated Sunday morning. A man was found dead inside a Snellville home Sunday.
