FREMONT, Calif. - A man was shot and killed in a grocery store parking lot in Fremont, police said, the city's first homicide of the year.
A witness called police at 7:21 p.m. to say they heard gunshots and a person appeared wounded outside the Lucky Supermarket at 5000 Mowry Ave.
Officers arrived and found the man conscious with an injury that may have been a gunshot wound.
As the man was being taken to a trauma center his condition deteriorated and he died when he arrived.
Police said it appears the man was outside the store with associates or friends when an older, dark-colored SUV pulled up.
The victim got out of the car he was in and an argument occurred between him and someone in the SUV, police said.
A person in the SUV apparently shot the man at least once and the SUV left the area, according to police.
