Police are saying that the alleged victim who shot him is facing a murder charge.
Police say David Abbott, 37, of Chapmanville approached a man outside the Walmart store about 5 p.m. Monday.
Abbott allegedly threatened Jesus Canul, 26, of Logan with a knife and attempted to rob him, according to police.
Sometime during the confrontation, Canul pulled out a firearm and shot Abbott in the head, authorities said.
