He was identified as 35-year-old Gregory Trevon Norman.
While investigators said they don't have information to share about the shooter, deputies had one man in handcuffs and put him inside their SUV.
Detectives were seen searching a wooded area, where Lynn McCray says many homeless people live.

“I know a lot of them, a lot of them I don't know, but I see them every day,” McCray said. “They just came back about two months ago because the city or the county got them from back there, so it might have lasted a year, and they started coming back about two months ago.”
McCray said he lives near where the man was shot. The thought of gun violence in his neighborhood has never crossed his mind.
“I kind of figured it be violence out there, but it never got to that extreme where somebody killed somebody,” McCray said. “I ain't expect nobody to get shot, you don't hear nothing back there, you don't hear no shooting or nothing.”
