The video shows the two in a physical struggle, with the woman appearing to try to get away from the man and into the passenger side of a white Toyota RAV4 SUV that was parked at the gas pumps.

Later, that same man approached the driver side of the SUV, and as he got closer to the person standing next to the SUV, that person opened fire at the man as he tried to run away.

The gas station was blocked off with yellow police tape as investigators processed the scene.
