Authorities responded to the gas station located at 4169 Jimmy Carter Blvd, where they found a man who shot in the parking lot of the business, which appears to be the address for the Amoco gas station.
The man was taken to a local hospital, where he later died, according to Gwinnett County Police.
Homicide detectives and crime scene investigators responded to the scene and started interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence.
Police said they didn't have a motive for the shooting, but after investigating, the suspect approached the victim before the shooting happened. The suspect then ran away.
Officers set up a perimeter around the area but could not locate the suspect.
Authorities did not identify the victim because they were waiting to notify the next of kin.
