Police are looking for the person who fired several shots outside a Georgia bar that led to the death of an innocent bartender who was just trying to do her job.

Brianna “Bri” Long, 21, and a few other co-workers were cleaning up at The Pier Bar in Remerton, which is just outside Valdosta, around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday when someone outside the bar opened fire during an altercation. Bullets entered the bar, hitting Long, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. She was taken to the hospital where she died.

GBI said in a press release that the bar closed at 2 a.m. Employees were cleaning up for the night, along with a few of their friends who remained inside the bar.

“This shooting was senseless and believed to have stemmed from some type of altercation that took place outside The Pier,” the press release said. “Regardless, an innocent person was killed due to someone else’s careless actions.”

Several vehicles in the bar parking lot were also shot up, GBI said.
