"We're still working on trying to find out who the suspect is," he said. "We don't have an ID, and we're talking to people who might've been there to find out who it might be."

Titus said the fight started over a drink at a residence on La Tourette Avenue.

"Supposedly, the victim picked up the suspect's drink, and the suspect" hit him over the head, Titus said.

The man hit over the head had injuries, but refused medical attention at the scene, he said.

Police did not release the names of anyone involved in the incident.
