Omar Gerardo Flores, the victim of a shooting last week outside an Emporia motel, has died at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City.
Flores was transferred to Kansas City shortly after he was shot Tuesday evening around 8:10 p.m.
"We just got notification," Emporia Police Chief Gary Smith said this morning. "He died last night. We're in the process of having an autopsy performed right now."
Smith said the autopsy should be able to provide some previously unavailable forensic evidence.
Police continue to look for the shooter or shooters. They ask that people with information call the police department, at 343-4200, or Lyon County Crime Stoppers, 342-CARE.
