A man was shot dead Sunday at a party organized via MySpace and witnesses could be scattered all across the state.

The 21-year old man was one of 300 people gathered at an abandoned property in Fresno County Saturday night, according to Chris Curtice, a spokesman for the Fresno County Sheriff's office.

Deputies were called about a shooting about 1 a.m. Sunday, Curtice said.
