The suspect was said to have parked his Hyundai vehicle in front of warehouse and was asked by a worker, a mechanic in the warehouse to move his vehicle to make way for others moving into and out of the warehouse to have access.

Things turned nasty and the car dealer fired a warning shot before aiming at the mechanic.
