The incident occurred before 6:12 p.m. in a parking lot on the 2500 block of Marvin Road Northeast, near the roundabout that connects Britton Parkway and Willamette Drive, according to a news release.

Dispatch received reports of a “traffic-related disturbance” in the area and a man with a gunshot wound. Lacey police and medics responded to the scene and found a wounded 43-year-old Lacey man, according to the release.

Medics transported the man to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead, the news release says.
