PHOENIX — A man has died in a hospital nearly a month after he was shot by a teenager near a bus stop in Phoenix, authorities said.

The victim, identified as 51-year-old Shawn Hall, was shot near 27th Avenue and Indian School Road on Dec. 23, the Phoenix Police Department said in a press release on Friday.

Officers took Hall to a hospital in critical condition, and he succumbed to injuries on Jan. 17, police said.

A description given by a witness was matched with a male teenager who allegedly fired his weapon before leaving the scene.

A woman had also been detained with the teenager but was later released as a witness.

The teen was referred to the juvenile community corrections for several felony charges, police said.

The events that led up to the shooting remain under investigation.
