One victim tried to stop the fight before it escalated by telling everyone on the property to leave, specifically White. The victim said that White was almost at his vehicle when he heard a gunshot. Next, the victim claims White was pointing and shooting numerous rounds in the direction of a fire pit with several people around it.

White then attempted to bring the victim into the vehicle with him but failed; White drove off with several other people. More gunshots were reported after White stopped his vehicle at the end of the property's driveway.
