SIGN UP An arrest warrant affidavit obtained by NBC 5 said Gruver was recorded pulling into the gas station and can be seen on video slowing next to Makarem who was walking through the parking lot. Police said the pair then argued and Makarem pulled a gun from his waistband and shot Gruver multiple times "at almost point-blank range" as he sat in his vehicle.
Three other people were in the car with Gruver at the time of the shooting, though police said none of them were injured.
Witnesses identified Makarem as the shooter and told police he ran from the gas station. Makarem was arrested about a mile away at the intersection of Treepoint Drive and Paces Trail.
According to investigators, it appears Makarem and the victim knew each other and had been feuding for some time.
