Detectives said first responders received the call around 1:35 a.m. at the Chevron gas station. Upon arrival, they found the victim with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced him dead on the scene.
They said one suspect was wearing a blue hoodie, and the other was in a black hoodie. Both left the scene in a red, four-door sedan.
"The victim is a customer, and the suspects are possibly also. They've been coming here for the last few days as well, according to the owner of the business," said Lt. Emanuel Pavel.
Investigators said an altercation between the victim and suspects led to the shooting. The store clerk told police he heard the shooting but did not see it.
The clerk says this is the first shooting he's seen at this store in his eight years of working. The shooting shattered two of the store's front windows.
