DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A victim of a shooting at a DeKalb County gas station has died, according to authorities.
The shooting happened at a Shell gas station located in the 3600 block of Flat Shoals Road shortly before 1 p.m., DeKalb County Police reported. No arrests were made, and the suspect's identity is unknown.
When the shooting happened, the victim was still alive but injured, according to officers. The police department said around 4 p.m. on Friday that the victim had died.
Crime scene tape was up for several hours – closing off a large portion of the block. 11Alive crews saw crime scene investigators measuring different angles of the parking lot as they collected evidence. Two cars were seen being towed from the scene, as loved ones stopped by trying to get information about what happened.
Police haven't released the name of the person who was killed but said it all started from an argument, which turned violent. It's unclear if there was an exchange of gunfire or if only one person fired a gun.
Customer Shavonn Lewis, who comes to the gas station every day, was surprised it was a crime scene. He said gun violence has affected him personally.
"The last couple of years I lost my best friend got killed over gun violence. My brother got killed over violence," Lewis said. "All this violence needs to stop."
The gas station is open for pumping gas. However, the store inside remains closed as DeKalb County officers are still investigating what happened.
