Investigators said a fight outside Mediterranean 2000, 8026 Bustleton Ave., led to the shooting. A large group was fighting in the street after a party at the bar let out, said Lt. Dennis Rosenbaum of Northeast Detectives.

Someone left the area and came back with a gun, he added. 

Police are going through surveillance video in an attempt to identify the suspect. No arrests have been made as of Tuesday. ••
