Officials said they responded to the scene around 2:20 a.m. Sunday at an event venue that had been rented out for the 30th birthday party of Dequan Twilley, a former ETSU basketball player.
Officers arrived and found multiple rounds of various caliber ammunition in the venue and in the parking lot.
According to police, around 30 people were at the venue when a fight took place, in which someone attempted to disarm a man identified as Corey Carlos Garrett.
