Police responded to a robbery report about 7 p.m. in the 400 block of S. Cedar Avenue, according to police spokesman John Elder. Officers found a man with gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead soon after.
The suspect fled in a vehicle. Police were hoping to find video of the area and interviewed people near the scene.
The building where the shooting took place appeared to be a bazaar with shops inside. Locals near the scene said it was known as "the mall."
