According to investigators, a 26-year-old was waiting inside his vehicle at the pumps as his mother went inside.
The driver of a black Jeep Cherokee, who also appeared to be making a fuel stop, moved in. That is when someone inside the Jeep opened fire during an attempted robbery, police say.
“A bullet came through the door. Then I [saw] him walk down here,” one of the Valero customers said. “Man, I hit the floor.”
MPD says the victim’s mother then rushed him to the nearest hospital before he was airlifted to Regional One Hospital in critical condition. He was shot in the stomach.
