Officers responded at 11:11 a.m. to the Casey’s located near 13th and E Streets after multiple 911 callers reported gunfire inside the store. When officers arrived, they found two gunshot victims. One victim later died at the hospital, while the second suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Police: Disturbance Outside Escalated Into Inside Shooting

He was arrested on suspicion of:

• Second-degree murder
