An argument between two Florida men over a tattoo ended in a shooting late Friday in Daytona Beach, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said.

Daniel Madsen, 24, of Palm Coast, was riding his bike in Daytona Beach around 11 p.m. when a car pulled alongside him, deputies said.

The driver, who deputies did not identify, asked Madsen about a tattoo he allegedly owed him.

Madsen told deputies he got into the car to discuss the tattoo when the two men got into an argument and the driver shot him.

Madsen ran to a nearby house for help, deputies said.

The investigation is still active and no further details are available at this time.
