A basketball game ended abruptly1 Saturday afternoon when 18-year-old Damon Miller2 was fatally shot at a recreation center. The gunman, who called himself Ace3, ran south on Oak Street after the shooting and remains4 at large(未被捕的). Miller was pronounced dead at the scene by the paramedics(护理人员). He died from two gunshot wounds to his chest. The paramedics did not arrive immediately because they were tied up at a four-car crash a mile away. This was the second such shooting during a basketball game, apparently5 by the same gunman.
 
According to witnesses, Miller did a little dance after making a game-winning 3-point basket. When Ace told him to stop celebrating, Miller ignored him. Then Ace pulled a small gun out of his baggy6(膨胀的) shorts and fired two quick shots. Everyone else backed away. Instead of running immediately, Ace picked up the basketball and made a 3-pointer himself. Then he did a little dance next to the victim's head and fled.
 
A police officer said the suspect will be charged with "a lot more than unsportsmanlike(没有运动道德的) conduct" when arrested. Eyewitnesses7 said Ace is a white male, 5'11", about 200 pounds, with a small scar on his left cheek.
 
Local activists9 criticized the police for dragging their feet in their search for the suspect. "You can bet if it was two white men who had been shot by a black man, there'd be a policeman on every basketball court in town till he was caught," said one activist8.
