An investigation is underway into a fatal shooting that happened at a gas station last night in the city.
Police responded to reports of shots fired that rang out at a gas station located at 1060 Stuyvesant Ave. shortly before 8 p.m.
Units arriving to the scene located a male victim laying on the ground bleeding from an apparent gunshot wound.
The man was rushed to University Hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
A preliminary investigation reports that the man was working in a store at that gas station during what appears to be an armed robbery.
There were no arrests reported.
The Essex County Prosecutor's Office is handling the investigation.
