Man dead after shooting in Warren Marathon gas station parking lot

One man is dead after a shooting Wednesday at a Warren gas station.

Police said the 46-year-old victim was killed in the parking lot of a Marathon gas station on Ryan and Jarvis, between 8 Mile and 9 Mile around 2:55 p.m.

"It appears that it was either a robbery, a drug deal gone bad or possibly an execution," Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer said. "

According to police, it appears a suspect vehicle pulled into the parking lot and there was a confrontation with the victim.

Police don't believe it was a random act.

"The victim was in his vehicle when he was approached by the suspect's passenger vehicle where he produced a weapon," Dwyer said. "Once he entered the vehicle, apparently the victim was able to get out of that vehicle - but then he was approached by the suspect vehicle driver.  He was the one that fired the shot.

"We have some suspect info that we're still developing and probably we'll have some good results later tonight or tomorrow morning."
