Police say on April 8, at 4:52pm, Morales made eye contact with a man who was pumping gas into his vehicle.

Morales, seen in a red jacket, exited the convenience store at the BP gas station on Grand Avenue in Elmwood Park.

He walked over to the car and pulled out his gun.

By then, the man who had been pumping gas was back in his vehicle.

Morales opened the passenger door of the car and then closed it before speaking to the man inside through the window.

The man felt he was in danger, according to police, and exited his vehicle armed with his own gun – and the two exchanged gunfire.

After about five seconds, Morales ran away, but not before he was hit with bullets, and the other man sped off.

At the time, police credited the gas station’s ‘state-of-the art camera system’ with providing them clear footage of the afternoon of the shootout.

They say this allowed them to to quickly corroborate information gathered from eyewitnesses, the man who survived the shootout and the vehicle occupants.

Police say that because the man was acting in self defense, they won’t be pressing charges.
