Daniel Perez, 25, died Monday, according to Acworth police spokeswoman Youlanda Leverette.
Perez was in the passenger seat of a pickup Friday night at the Shops at Blue Springs when two men approached the truck, police said. One of the men shot Perez in the head.
A father of three, Perez was with his brother at the time. He was taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital.
