Detectives are investigating the shooting death of a 7-Eleven clerk in Highland Park that may have been the result of a botched robbery, according to police.

LAPD Officer Bruce Borihahn said the fatal shooting occurred just before 10:30 p.m. Sunday in the 5100 block of Figueroa Street.

He said two men entered the store and fired multiple shots at the victim, described only as a man 35 to 40 years old. The man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

The shooting may have been the result of a botched robbery, Borihahn added.

The homicide occurred not long after another 7-Eleven robbery occurred several miles north in Lincoln Heights, but Borihahn said the incidents were not connected.

Anyone with information is asked to call LAPD’s Northeast Station at (323) 344-5701. Anonymous tips can be made at Crime Stoppers at (800) 527-3247.
