A second person who was shot in the parking lot of a Lehigh Valley Walmart in late February has died.
Jonathan Martinez, 22, died around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, Lehigh County Chief Deputy Coroner Richard Pender said. His death was ruled a homicide, and the cause of death was pending an autopsy.
Martinez had been hospitalized since the Feb. 26 shooting outside the superstore on MacArthur Road in Whitehall Township, which also claimed the life of 20-year-old Nicolette Law after she was struck multiple times throughout the body.
