Investigators initially said Hunte was provoked when he shot Delkic, a Bosnian refugee who survived prison during the Bosnian War in the 1990s.

Delkic was shot once in the chest about 6 p.m. Sunday in the parking lot of the Scenic Highway Walmart.

“It appears from the review of the evidence and the statements of the witnesses that the defendant and his girlfriend were coming out of the Walmart store and crossing in the crosswalk, where the victim slightly pulled into the white striped lines,” Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter said in an interview Tuesday. “... And that’s what initiated everything.”

Delkic was pronounced dead at Gwinnett Medical Center.
