“As the party was concluding about 2 a.m. people were exiting the establishment or already in the parking lot when shots were fired. ... Ms. Moore apparently fled the parking lot where the shooting occurred and collapsed in a back lot of a nearby business," Michael Day said.

Decatur police urged the public to call (217) 424-2734 with any tips.
