Suspect wanted in gas station shooting

On March 10 around 2 a.m., police received a call about a shooting at a gas station in the 1900 block of Ramsey Street.

They said when they arrived, the victim told them he was pumping gas when a suspect -- who was driving a dark colored sedan with damage to the right front quarter panel -- walked up to him, demanded money and then shot him. The suspect then left the scene on foot.

Martin is decribed as an African American man standing 5' 6" and weighing 175 pounds.
