At the scene they found a man lying in the doorway and suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim, Ali Al Saedy, 52, was pronounced dead.
Officers learned that Al Saedy had been sweeping the parking lot when a white vehicle drove by and a shot rang. He grabbed his chest and stumbled to the door of the business where he collapsed.
