The shooting took place early Thursday morning outside of the Citgo gas station on Chalmers Avenue at Houston Whittier Street.
According to police, a man in his 20s rode his bike up to the gas station and was about to go inside when a man in a newer, white Chevy SUV got out of his vehicle and started firing. The gunman then fled the scene.
By the time police arrived at the gas station, the victim was dead. Police say he had at least two gunshot wounds. His name has not yet been released.
