A man was found shot to death at an abandoned building in Floyd County Wednesday afternoon.
Neighbors say they heard several shots fired before finding a man dead in the parking lot of an abandoned doctor’s office on Route 321 just outside Prestonsburg.
The Floyd County coroner said the 34-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene with gun shot wounds. He has not been identified pending family notification. An autopsy has been scheduled for Thursday, the coroner said.

A man who lives right next door tells LEX 18 no one was in the parking lot, but when he returned just five minutes later, the man was already dead.
State police have not said if anyone had been arrested or what might have lead to the shooting. Police shut down Route 321 where the shooting took place for several hours as they investigated.
“My daughter called me and said ‘dad, there’s somebody been shot or something. I heard about three gun shots,’ and she said ‘I looked out the door and there was two or three people standing out there, around him.’ So I came home and he was already covered up by a sheet by, then,” said neighbor Roy Compton.
Police say they are treating the case as a homicide.
