FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Fresno police are investigating after a man was shot several times inside a gas station in east central Fresno on Wednesday morning.

Officers responded to the Valero on Shields and Clovis Avenue just before 5 am, where they found the 37-year-old victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Paramedics were called to the gas station and transported the man to the hospital, where he later died. His name has not been released.

Investigators say they believe the man was followed inside the store before the gunfire erupted.

Detectives said a suspect was seen leaving the area in a dark-colored vehicle. No further information was immediately available.

The gas station will remain blocked off as homicide detectives continue their investigation. Traffic in the area has not been impacted.
