An argument between two men at a Kroger gas station in Kentucky ended when one man was shot multiple times over the Memorial Day weekend.
Dayshawn Tolbert, 37, of Louisville, was fatally shot while arguing with another man at the Kroger gas station at South 28th Street and West Broadway, around 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
The shooting was captured on cellphone video by multiple witnesses who uploaded the videos to social media.
One video shows two men arguing at a gas pump. Three shots ring out after the victim threatened to take the shooter’s gun.
“I will sleep you and take your gun,” Tolbert said while walking towards the gunman.
Louisville Metro Police Department officers and medics responded to the scene and performed CPR on the dying man.
Tolbert was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound to the chest at University of Louisville Hospital, according to the Jefferson County Coroner’s office.
Kroger released a statement about the fatal shooting on Sunday.
“We are saddened by the shooting incident that occurred around 3:30 p.m. today at our West Broadway store, and our team is thankful for the quick response of the LMPD,” the company said. “We are cooperating with law enforcement and assisting with their investigation.”
The company said the West Broadway Kroger has been closed and “will reopen after the investigation concludes.”
LMPD’s homicide unit is investigating the shooting. There are no suspects.
Despite stay-at-home orders in some states, the U.S. saw its deadliest Memorial Day weekend in years.
10 people were killed and 24 wounded in shootings in Chicago. And at least 19 were shot and 4 dead in Missouri over the Memorial Day weekend.
