At around 1:45 p.m., police say the male suspect and another man got into an argument inside the gas station. The dispute continued outside where the suspect fired multiple shots at the victim, wounding him.

The victim fired back, but did not injure the suspect, police said.

After the shooting, the suspect got into white Dodge Dart with a female driver — being called a "person of interest" — and drove off.
