Authorities are attempting to locate two men they believe were involved in the shooting death of a man at a Terre Haute bar early Saturday morning.
Terre Haute Police officers responded to a report of gunshots at the 6th Avenue Bar, located at 796 Lafayette Ave., after 2 a.m., according to a department news release.
Officers reportedly found a man in front of the bar suffering from a gunshot wound to his abdomen, police said in the news release. The victim was taken to Union Hospital, where he later died, police said.
Terre Haute Police were not releasing the man’s name pending family notification.
Based on witness interviews and a review of surveillance video, the release said that investigators have determined a physical argument between two groups of men led up to the shooting. Investigators say they have identified everyone involved in the incident, but have not released that information.
The investigation was continuing Saturday afternoon the THPD said in its release.
Several attempts to reach police chief John Plasse and assistant chief Shawn Keen for additional details and updates on the shooting were not successful Saturday afternoon.

Good to see them in news again
A $2.
Terre Haute has always been a rough town and 6th Ave Club is in a rough part of a rough town. Likely a dope deal gone south. Neither Terre Haute club is worth the gas to get off highway to visit. I have stopped at both 6th Ave and Coyote in West Terre Haute. Never again.
