WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a man has been fatally shot during an argument in a strip mall parking lot.

Police Lt. Nikki Woodrow said in a statement that the shooting happened late Wednesday afternoon. The Wichita Eagle  reports that witnesses told police that two men argued before the victim was shot in the chest and the right leg. He was taken to a Wichita hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police say the suspect left in a vehicle with California tags. The vehicle was recovered later but the suspect wasn’t immediately arrested.
