RENTON, WA - The teen who died Sunday afternoon in a shooting at the Renton Walmart has been identified by his family as Emarion Walker Black - and family members say they don't know how the 16-year-old died in a such violent manner.

"My grandson was my best friend," Emarion's grandfather, Cedric Walker, Sr., told KIRO 7. His grandmother, Glenda Gipson Bentley, told KIRO 7 Emarion was a "good kid."

The shooting happened around 2 p.m. Sunday outside the front doors of the Walmart along Rainier Avenue South. The store was closed Sunday because of a fire that broke out inside the store Saturday night.

Walker Black was involved in an altercation with other people at the scene, but police did not immediately say what the fight was about. Police did not locate a suspect at the Walmart.
