At that point, one of the men pulled out a gun and fired shots at the victim as he tried to flee, HCSO said.
The suspect then ran back toward a vehicle and took off, according to investigators.
Investigators said one of the men involved in the fight was staying at the hotel, but the man who was killed was not.
