According to accounts provided at the scene, the man shot — who has not been named — was sitting in his vehicle when two men approached and ordered him into his residence, Bradley County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Paul Allen said in the release.
A physical altercation happened before one of the men shot the victim, authorities said.
Allen said the men fled the scene after taking the victim’s vehicle, a silver 2003 Toyota 4Runner.
