Unfortunately, after being taken to the hospital in critical condition the victim died from his injuries.

Police preliminary investigation revealed the shooting stemmed from an argument between several individuals. The altercation then escalated and a suspect allegedly shot the 39-year-old multiple times and then fled in a dark colored truck.

“Based on the investigation thus far it appears that the victim and the suspect were acquaintances or new each other.”
