A 30-year-old man was shot and killed during a fight at a Miami-area gas station, police say

An argument between two men ended with one of them dead outside of a gas station in Northwest Miami-Dade early Thursday, Miami-Dade police said.

The Caraf Oil gas station, 8700 NW 27th Ave., is blocked off by crime tape, and a dark-colored SUV was surrounded by evidence markers, TV video showed.

The shooting left a 30-year-old man dead, according to Miami Herald news partner CBS4. His body, covered with a yellow tarp, was seen near the side of the road.

His 36-year-old shooter left the gas station but later turned himself in and is being questioned, according to NBC6.

Police have not released the name of either person yet.
