“We heard gunfire outside the store,” one 911 caller told dispatchers on early Monday morning.
The call from store employees had dispatchers sending officers to the Speedway on E. Stewart Street shortly after midnight on Monday.
More calls came in as police drove to the scene.
“They were in the car fighting, and then one of the guys pulled the guy out and just started shooting him,” another 911 caller said.
Police pulled into the gas station and found a male victim. That person was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.
News of what happened was surprising to customers who came in and out of the gas station’s store on Monday.
“People are just losing their minds these days,” Amir Elliott said. “You just gotta be careful everywhere you go, keep your head on a swivel.”

As reported on News Center 7 at 5:00, police were busy checking on gun violence all weekend.
Officers got calls of reported gunfire at an apartment complex on Lakebend Drive around 11:30 p.m. on Sunday.
When they got to the scene, they found a 26-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man injured. They were both taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
One person at the apartment complex told News Center 7 about the scene.
“They was all out here. They even put tape out there, over by my door because it’s like a blood trail all the way by my doors,” Teasia Gunter said.
The suspect vehicle for the Lakebend Drive shooting was later found, and a 24-year-old woman was arrested on felonious assault charges.
“I hope it doesn’t happen again because everybody’s got kids over here,” Gunter said.
Police also responded to a shooting around 2:30 a.m. on Linden Avenue on Sunday. There, a 23-year-old man was found shot. He was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.
The shootings are all under investigation.
