A Manchester teen is dead and another injured after a shooting near the Up or On the Rocks nightclub on Allyn Street in Hartford, police said.

Brian Simpe, a 19-year-old from Manchester, was shot once in the chest and rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

According to police, the fight broke out around 2 a.m. Sunday and ended with a person firing shots outside the club.

Another person was injured during the dispute and is in stable condition, police said.

Authorities are asking for help in finding the shooter. Police said a large crowd was present and are hoping witness accounts can help them identify a suspect.

The deadly shooting happened just a day after the round of violence that injured at least five people in the city.

An NBC Connecticut crew was first at the scene.
