Police said a fight broke out between two groups inside the hotel.

The hotel is full of people from Louisiana, and according to police, the victim was a Katrina evacuee.

Police said it started as a fight between two groups inside the hotel.

The shooting started around 10 p.m., and police said both groups were shooting at each other. The fight made its way downstairs.

The victim was shot in the head.

“We have some individuals of interest that we would like to speak to further about it, but it would be premature to say that they are suspects,” said HPD official Mike Walker. “It’s simply too early in the investigation to tell.

Police have no one officially in custody.

A second person, a woman, suffered an injury to her head, but it was not life threatening.
