Authorities said a man in his mid-30s died and another male was injured Monday after an argument escalated into a shooting near a gas station on First Avenue North in Birmingham.

Birmingham police officers were called to the gas station located in the 5900 block of First Avenue shortly after 5 p.m. According to the preliminary investigation, Lt. Sean Edwards said the victim was crossing the street from a McDonald's when he got in an argument with a man driving eastbound on First Avenue. It is unknown at this time if the two men knew each other or what they were arguing about, Edwards said.

Edwards said the driver then got out of the car and recklessly started firing his gun, shooting the victim. A man in his early 60s was also shot in the leg while he was pumping gas at the Exxon.

The victim was taken to the hospital, where he died from his injuries. The bystander who was shot in the leg was driven to the hospital for treatment on his non-life threatening injury.

Police are currently searching for the shooting described to be a black man wearing a red T-shirt driving a blue, four-door Dodge Charger with a silver or white hood. Anyone who has any information on this case should contact Birmingham police at 205-254-1700.
