DeKalb County police are investigating the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old man at a gas station on Flat Shoals Road.

Police say a car with two 18-year-old men pulled up to a gas station pump and another car with two other young men pulled up right behind them.

DeKalb County detectives say that’s when the two other young men got out and immediately started shooting at car in front of them.

“Another vehicle pulled up. Two unidentified subjects got out and started shooting at both victims,” Lt. Rob Bryant said.

Police say both victims tried to run away. One victim collapsed on Flat Shoals Road.

Both victims were transported to Grady Memorial Hospital where one of the teens died. The other victim is in critical condition.

Police have not released a description of the suspects or the car the shooters were in.

Gehlbach says surveillance video may have captured what happened.
