Deputies encountered a man suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, Mitry said. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead several hours later.
It was believed that the victim was shot at or near the intersection before walking into a shared parking lot between a Target store and a bank, where he collapsed, investigators said.
