UPDATE at 9:19 p.m.: An employee of the Food Mart gas station is being questioned by Birmingham police about the fatal shooting of a man on Friday.

Sgt. Bryan Shelton said the victim died after being shot in the chest at the gas station on Oporto-Madrid Boulevard around 2:45 p.m. He said the shooting stemmed from an argument between the employee and the victim. The gas station is located on the northern side of the East Lake neighborhood.

Shelton said the employee was taken to police headquarters for the interview, but no charges have been filed. Police have not identified the victim.

Robert Walker, vice president of the Wahouma Neighborhood Association, joined the small crowd of people who gathered at the scene. He said residents have tried to get the gas station shut down due to the amount of beatings and shootings that have happen at the location in the past.

This is the fourth homicide to occur in Birmingham since three men were fatally shot on Wednesday. Walker, who was born and raised in Birmingham, believes shutting the gas station down will alleviate some of the violence.

"We have many convenient stores around here and none of them have had violence to this extent," Walker said. "(Violence) has no place in this neighborhood."
