The man advised the agents that he had just been shot at and a male subject was injured in the back seat. Border Patrol Agents contacted LPD dispatch and advised them of the incident. Responding officers arrived at location along with EMS. The victim, as yet unidentified, was in the back seat and suffered from a gunshot to the middle torso. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim remains unidentified due to notification of next of kin has not been obtained.
