Two men also were wounded in the triple shooting Tuesday night.
Police on Wednesday identified 25-year-old Daykwan Carter as the man shot dead Tuesday night in the parking lot of the Target department store just off City Avenue.
Carter, of the 5300 block of Morris Street in Germantown, was shot in the head inside a white Jeep Grand Cherokee outside the Target on the 4000 block of Monument Avenue.
