DeKalb County police say no charges will be filed in a deadly gas station shooting
Notably, the deceased man's vehicle was nowhere in sight Saturday evening. Police said that's because passengers, who were with him, took off in it.
"There are other males that arrived with the deceased [who], once the gunshots started, fled the scene in that other vehicle," Lt. Matt Ferreira said. "We don't know who they are yet, they're still outstanding."
Police say the shooting happened during an argument between two men at the Texaco.
Officials said they are actively trying to track two outstanding suspects down but don't believe they pose any immediate danger to the public.
