A man was killed in a shooting at a Gwinnett County gas station Sunday afternoon, according to police.

Officers were called to a Shell station at the intersection of Peachtree Industrial and Jimmy Carter boulevards in Peachtree Corners around 12:40 p.m., police said. When they arrived, they found the victim, identified as 39-year-old Marcus Bush of Covington, lying on the ground behind the building with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators are still piecing together what led to the shooting, but they believe Bush had an argument with multiple men at the gas pumps and it escalated to gunfire, police said in a statement. It was not clear what the argument was about, and it appears to have been an isolated incident.

No other details have been released.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Gwinnett police at 770-513-5300. To remain anonymous, tipsters should contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or visit www.stopcrimeATL.com.
