NORCROSS, Ga. — The victim in a Sunday, April 23, fatal shooting at a Gwinnett County gas station has been identified as Marcus Bush, 39, of Covington.

Gwinnett County Police Department reported that Bush was seen having a verbal dispute with multiple males. It is not known what the verbal altercation was about but police say it appears to be an isolated incident. 

The investigation is ongoing, and detectives are asking anyone with information to come forward about the shooting at the Shell Gas Station on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Jimmy Carter Boulevard in Norcross on Sunday afternoon.
