Interesting photo James- is your "car" one of those Toyota pickups with a bed mounted heavy caliber machine gun? maybe it shut off because a 50 caliber bullet went thru the engine block? just guessin'

Could be a fuel pump failure. When you turn the key on can you hear the pump running for a few seconds? If not, I'd start there. Could be a bunch of other things too. Have it scanned for trouble codes. That will probably give you some clues.
