ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A 63-year-old man was fatally shot Thursday evening at a gas station, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.
Investigators reported hearing gunfire at about 10 p.m. at the 7-Eleven store on West Landstreet Road and South Orange Blossom Trail, Orange County Lt. Bob Padilla said.
Deputies discovered Nelson Montero's body at the convenience store, and another deputy chased a driver who was speeding away, Padilla said.
"After a vehicle pursuit, the driver was secured and the passenger, who had fled from the vehicle, was apprehended a short time later," Padilla said.
Deputies said Bryant Rodriguez, 17, was arrested on charges of second-degree murder, and Alexander Berrios, 38, was arrested on charges of fleeing or attempting to elude.
Investigators said Montero and Rodriguez had gotten into an argument that ended in gunfire.
Ronald Dallas, who has worked at the store for three years, said he instantly recognized the victim when he arrived at work. He said Montero would visit the store several times per day.
"He was a very friendly person," he said. "I would never expect anyone to do it to him."
The shooting remains under investigation.
No other details were given.
