Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The cause of the Sheriff's death was not given to us!. We can assume that the bullet hit the sheriff, but not that it is responsible for his death!. He could have died from alcohol poisoning or scorpion sting or anything really!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

That depends on the most relevant cause of death!.

If the sheriff was to die from the life threatening gun short wound(s) inflicted by the bandit from the desert or any related treatment required because of those wounds, yes the bandit killed the sheriff at the desert!. It only took him longer than normal to die from the wounds while back in town!. Whether he was able to ride to town or not shouldn't be an issue!. The primary crime scene was at the desert, thou the body was in another location!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The bandit did not kill the sheriff!.

If the shooting happen in the desert then how in the heck did the sheriff ride into town!?

The sheriff would have been killed in the desert, making it unlikely that he ended up in town!.

So, no the bandit didn't kill him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
