"The preliminary investigation revealed an adult female and the victim were involved in a verbal altercation over a parking space in the Walmart parking lot prior to the shooting," the Broward County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

Dashcam footage of the incident shows the woman get out of a vehicle in a parking space before being approached by the man, identified by the sheriff's office as 62-year-old Bart Diguglielmo.
