Police say at least four people entered the jewelry store at around 11:30 Tuesday morning; police say at least two of them were armed. It's then that police say a struggle ensued between the suspects and the business owners.
One of the owners managed to wrestle a gun away from a suspect. The owner shot the suspect in the abdomen; he was transported to a local hospital where he later died. As for the other suspects involved, police did managed to detain two, a male and a female just blocks away from the crime scene.
The fourth suspect is still on the loose and police just have a vague description to go on. He is described at a black male adult with very short hair, and he's believed to be wearing a white shirt and dark pants.
Police tell us the owners are obviously shaken up, but fortunately they were not injured. Police also tell us that at this time it's too early in the investigation to talk about whether the owner who shot the suspect will face charges in all of this or if it may just be ruled self defense.
