According to authorities, there was an argument that took place inside the gas station, and the suspect pulled out a gun and shot three people, before running from the scene.

Witness video captured a conscious man, as he was being loaded onto the ambulance.
According to an arrest report, Shamun Shaukat had confronted Dyer-Mitchell for possibly shoplifting shortly after midnight. When Dyer-Mitchell was about to leave the gas station, police say he opened fire.
Officers later found Dyer-Mitchell at an apartment building across the street from the gas station, where he was arrested.
In bond court on Monday, the judge granted the state's motion for pre-trial detention and ordered for Dyer-Mitchell to be held without bond. He has a criminal history, records show.
