'You have to ask for a hearing and it could take them five days for a hearing.'

A man shot and left for dead at a gas station on Chicago's West Side. So, why is the business being closed down by the city?Crime scene tape is still blocking off this gas station two days after the shooting. No one is being let in. It's closed and owners say they have no reason to be punished, based off of what is caught on camera.

On surveillance video, a man is seen standing on a sidewalk. Another man chasing him down with what appears to be a rifle. He shoots the victim at least five times at point blank range."We voluntarily closed for two days to give the police time to investigate." But that two days turning into even longer. Now that this orange closure sticker went up from the city.

"You have to ask for a hearing and it could take them five days for a hearing," said co-owner Ahmed Mohsin.The sticker reads the shut down comes because of a violent offense occurring at the establishment. It is unclear if another car leaving the lot was involved. But the owners argue the victim was not initially on their property before the shooting.The American Arab Chamber of Commerce has a hunch.

Last September, multiple minority owners called her out for closing them down under the guise of what they call small violations.
