A 35-year-old man met a tragic end yesterday morning after he was shot while sitting in his vehicle at a Milwaukee gas station. The incident took place before 10 a.m. at the Citgo gas station, located near Fond du Lac and Hampton avenues. WISN reported that the suspect, a 48-year-old man, approached the victim's car and discharged multiple rounds, resulting in life-threatening injuries to the individual inside.

Following the attack, the injured man was rushed to a local hospital for emergency treatment. Despite the efforts of medical personnel, he succumbed to his injuries.
