The incident happened at a CITGO gas station on Glenwood Avenue and Fayetteville Road.

Major Keith Meadows of the Atlanta Police Department says the suspect entered the store with a handgun and demanded money from the clerk, 26-year-old Beyenne Jagama. At some point the suspect fired his weapon four or five times, hitting Jagama in the lower abdomen.

Police say the store's cash drawer was emptied and they're looking for a red pick-up truck with at least three men inside.

Investigators say they're also talking to two witnesses for more answers. Police say they are reviewing surveillance video.

Jagama was transported to Grady Hospital, where he later died.
