A 20-year-old man was found shot to death late Wednesday in the parking lot of a gas station in Lithonia, according to DeKalb County police.

Officers responded just before midnight to a Citgo station in the 300 block of North Stone Mountain Road, spokesman J.D. Spencer said.

“The victim had been shot several times,” Spencer said. “EMS responded and advised the victim was deceased.”

There is nothing to release on a suspect or a motive, he said. The investigation is ongoing.
