The three-metre male short-finned pilot whale was found on a beach in Allenhurst on September 24.
It weighed more than 320 kilograms.
Marine Mammal Stranding Center director Bob Schoelkopf tells the newspaper the gunshot wound caused an infection that prevented the whale from eating.
Schoelkopf says the whale probably travelled far before it became weak and washed ashore.
A bullet recovered from its jaw has been sent it to a lab for testing.
