Munir al-Medani, 21, was shot in the chest late on Thursday when police fired on a demonstration in the town of Qatif, in Eastern Province, they added.
The police confirmed a man had died, but said officers had responded after being shot at by unidentified gunmen.
The protesters were reportedly demanding the release of Shia political prisoners and democratic reforms.
