FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- One man is dead after an argument led to a shooting in central Fresno Thursday afternoon.

Police responded to a call of a shooting just before 12:15 p.m. Thursday on White Avenue and Plaza Drive.

When officers arrived, they found a man with multiple gunshot wounds. Police and medics tried to save the man but he died at the scene.

A Lexus sedan sat with the driver's door open and what appeared to be eight gunshots piercing the shattered window.

The shooting drew the attention of neighbors who immediately recognized the sound.

"Just a little bit ago I got back and I was feeding my dogs and I heard the rounds go off like it was in my backyard," witness Robert Williams. "There was a big gun and I heard 2 more rounds go off and I don't know who shot those, but it was a smaller caliber. I figured somebody got hit so I called it in and the next thing I know I heard all the sirens here."

Investigators do not know how the victim and the suspect knew each other or what the argument was about.

There is no suspect information at this time.
