Brian Leigh Davis was out to have a good time when he arrived at a party Oct. 19, 1984.
The shindig, at an apartment complex in the 700 block of East First Street, had been going on for most of the day, and neighbors later reported revelers had become increasingly rowdy.
Around 8:30 p.m. Davis, 24, got into a fight inside the apartment with a party crasher, according to an Arizona Daily Star story. When the fight moved outside the apartment Davis was shot once in the head. He died at the hospital early the next morning.
The shooter, who was seen by as many as 25 witnesses, was described as a bearded man with wavy hair, clad in dark clothing, between 25 and 30 years old, standing 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10 inches tall. He fled on bicycle.
