At approximately 2:30 a.m. on May 15, officers were dispatched to the gas station at 8050 Fountain Mesa Road for a shooting.
When officers arrived on the scene, they located a man with a gunshot to his leg.
It was determined occupants of at least two separate vehicles were involved in the shooting.
