Dolunt said the shooting happened at a neighborhood party that included a barbecue attended by families with some small children in strollers.
"Through the grace of God no children were shot," he said.
Authorities suspect the dead man was targeted by the shooter, although Dolunt said that was preliminary.
No other information was immediately available.
