At the time of the shooting, police said two men had arrived at the gas pumps in the same vehicle. At one point, shots were fired and the victim stumbled out of the car and the suspect sped off.
Surveillance video captured a 2004 silver/gray Dodge Durango speeding off right after the incident.
The driver has been identified as Brinton. Investigators say Brinton frequents homeless tent cities in Salt Lake City, Duchesne and Roosevelt in the Uintah Basin. He was last known to be driving the Dodge Durango and police are looking for it and Brinton.
They warn that Brinton should be considered armed and dangerous, and if you spot him, do not approach him and call 9-1-1.
