JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Police are investigating a fatal shooting at a Southside Walmart.

Shots rang out in the store parking lot on Beach Boulevard near Southside Boulevard shortly after 8 p.m.

JSO homicide detectives say two men were parked inside a car when a third man walked up to the vehicle and shot the man seated in the passenger seat.

The gunman ran off, and the driver raced the victim to a Kangaroo gas station on Southside Boulevard.

The driver told police he was scared so he drove away while calling 911. Lt. Jimmy Judge said, "He alleged he was scared and he wanted to get away. So he pulled into the first lit up area he saw."

An ambulance rushed the victim to Shands Jacksonville hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police made no arrests and have no suspects.

@ RetiredJSO You think because someone got shot that it was a drug deal gone bad. Please let me inform you my nephew did not deal in drugs and his friend was not a drug dealer either. Maybe it was a robbery which it was. You are retired law enforcement I think anyway maybe you should hold your comment the way we are suppose to.

That's why welfare people suck...they run out of money then pull crap like this...because they are angry that they have no money left. All they have to do is get a job and they will get paid every other week.
