BOISE CITY, Okla. (AP) – A man shot and killed outside a Boise City convenience story has been identified as a 71-year-old Alva man.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said Thursday that Charles Nieman was shot after getting out of his pickup truck in the parking lot of the Loaf N’ Jug just after 1 p.m. Wednesday and died a short time later at a Boise City hospital.

The OSBI says Boise City police have asked the state agency for assistance in investigating the shooting and no arrests have been made.

Police said earlier that Nieman was shot after being approached by a man in the parking lot and that the gunman then fled the scene.

Boise City is in the far western Oklahoma Panhandle – about 325 miles northwest of Oklahoma City.
