Witnesses told police they saw the 21-year-old victim drive from the back of the complex before parking his vehicle and getting out. According to police, the victim stumbled out and asked a good Samaritan if he could use his phone to call 911 because he had just been robbed.

After collapsing and becoming unresponsive, the victim was taken to a nearby hospital, where he remains in critical condition, police said.
Police said Tuesday that so far, investigators have determined the man was sitting in the driver seat of the vehicle he was in when he was shot, and he was likely shot by someone he knew, who was likely sitting in the front passenger seat at the time.
Officers said investigators have been collecting physical evidence and interviewing possible witnesses since the shooting and are currently following several leads but still looking to learn more.
