In a statement, police said a passer-by called police around 4:10 p.m. to report the altercation between two men outside the gas station in the 39700 block of Paseo Padre Parkway at Stevenson Road.
When police responded and arrived at the scene, they found a man suffering from severe injuries on the ground. Fremont Fire Department firefighters also responded and provided life-saving measures, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Soon after, police said a suspect in the altercation was detained and arrested.
