According to police, witnesses said they heard gunshots and saw a white U-Haul van, with Arizona license plates AL3-4831, fleeing the scene and leaving the man’s body behind.
One of the suspects was wearing a gray Affliction shirt and the other was wearing a black Rolling Stones hoodie and black pants.
During the investigation, it was revealed that the victim pulled into the parking lot in his own vehicle with two of the suspects, who were driving the white van, police said. The suspects then got into the man’s vehicle for a short period of time and was seen getting out the vehicle while holding pistols.

During the struggle, the suspect shot the victim and then struck him with the van as they fled the scene.
