Dallas police said two men went into the Subway restaurant in the 600 block of Illinois Avenue near Zang Boulevard at 10:52 p.m. Sunday and demanded money from the employees.
One of the employees — 28-year-old Leonardo Ortega — argued with the robbers and refused to give them money, police said. One of the armed men subsequently shot him three times in the torso.
Police said the other employee gave the robbers money after the shooting. The robbers then ran from the restaurant.
Ortega was transported to Methodist Dallas Medical Center with multiple gunshot wounds, according to police. He was later pronounced dead.

Ortega's sister, Vanessa, said he was a musician who had so much to live for.
"My brother wouldn't hurt a fly," she told NBC 5. "He was the most harmless person ever."
