May 03 2009
Police are searching for a man who fatally shot an Ethiopian immigrant inside a 7-Eleven convenience store early this morning.
The victim called police at 3:30 a.m. and told them he was shot inside the store at 567 E. Louisiana Ave. The store clerk was in an alley near the store, said Sonny Jackson, Denver police spokesman.
It is not known why he went outside, Jackson said. Police have not released the name of the victim, but neighbors identified him as "Nathaniel." He was rushed to Denver Health Medical Center where he later was pronounced dead, Jackson said. Police are searching for a white man, about 30, average height and weight, with shoulder-length, brown hair, Jackson said. He was wearing a green jacket and likely blue jeans.
