When officers arrived, they discovered Juan Belloso in the driveway with apparent gunshot wounds.
Blood and a bullet hole could be seen Friday morning on the side of his garage, near a fence and gate to the backyard. A red Honda Civic was parked in the driveway of the small rambler.
Police said Belloso was taken to Kadlec Regional Medical Center where he died.
Investigators believe Belloso knew the suspect and are investigating it as a homicide.
