First responders took the victim to the hospital where he later died.

Following an investigation, detectives identified Carlos Antonio Wright, 47, as a suspect, the sheriff's office said. Wright was believed to have gotten into an argument inside the store that later escalated into a physical fight in the parking lot. 

This ultimately led to the shooting, JSO said.

After the shooting, Wright left the scene but was later taken into custody at a nearby home without incident and was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to the sheriff's office.

Later, police charged Wright with 2nd degree murder on March 19. He remains in the Duval County Jail without bond.
