Officers were dispatched to the Super Mercado Jalisco on Alpharetta Street about 12:50 p.m. after getting a call about an armed robbery, Roswell police spokesman Officer Sean Thompson said. They arrived to find an unconscious man in the parking lot.

Police helped paramedics perform life-saving measures, but the victim died after being taken to the hospital, authorities said.

It’s unclear what led to the fatal shooting, but police are working to determine whether robbery was a motive, Thompson said.

No arrests have been made in the case.
