At the Dorchester office of Peter's Towing, employees told WBZ two of their co-workers were in a parking lot at a Parker Street apartment complex looking for cars parked illegally when they were confronted by two young men who took issue with their presence.

An argument turned physical and one of them pulled out a gun, shooting the driver.
