Man dies after being shot multiple times at DeKalb gas station

DeKalb County police believe a man fatally shot while sitting in a car outside a gas station Tuesday night knew his killer.

The 55-year-old victim, whose name was not released, died at a hospital after being shot around 9:30 p.m. at the Chevron on the corner of Redan and South Hairston roads, according to police. Officers told Channel 2 Action News he spoke with the suspect before multiple shots were fired.

While it remains under investigation, the killing “does not appear to be a random act,” a police spokesperson said. Detectives were following up on leads Wednesday and soliciting tips from the public.
