PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — A man shot in the parking lot of a Pawtucket car wash has died, police said Monday.
Pawtucket police responding to the Water Works Car Wash at about 4:45 p.m. Sunday found the victim with a gunshot wound to the head, Det. Sgt. Christopher LeFort said in a statement.
The victim, identified by police as Julius Bell, 39, was taken to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence where he was later pronounced dead, police said.
