Update: Tulsa police released the identity of the event center security guard who died after being shot early Sunday.
Norman Huntley, 42, was shot multiple times during a fight at a Tulsa car wash, at 5941 E. 11th St., about 4:10 a.m. Sunday, said Tulsa Police Sgt. Dave Walker.
The fight had started after a bag was stolen from a woman at an after-hours event at the nearby Route 66 Event Center, 5925 E. 11th St., police said.
The woman had told security guards there that a man had taken her bag and left the event center, police said.
The security guards found a group of theft suspects in a car at the car wash. A fight ensued between a group "representing the bag's owner" and the group in the car, police said in a press release. Huntley, one of the security guards, was shot multiple times in the torso as he stood near the car, police said.
He was in critical condition when he was taken to St. John Medical Center, and he was pronounced dead at the hospital Monday afternoon, Walker said.
The shooter, for whom a complete description was not available, ran across the street and fled in a vehicle.
Huntley's death is Tulsa's 55th homicide of 2016.
