TAMPA -- An argument over people accused of cutting in line led to a deadly shooting early Saturday, police said.

According to reports, a group of people were waiting in line at a portable canteen trailer in a parking lot on Hillsborough Avenue just after 3 a.m., when some people accused others of cutting in line.

Police said the ensuing argument quickly turned into a fight, and at some point, several shots were fired.

One of the two people shot -- Alquan Garner, 23 -- got into his car and drove away. He ended up crashing his vehicle, and was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

Police said Garner was an innocent bystander.
