When officers arrived, they found Mohammad Ali Abdulrahman, injured in the parking lot, who was then transported to an area hospital where he died.
After talking with witnesses, police said Chalmer Mouton, whose car had been stolen earlier in the day, tracked the vehicle to the parking lot where he confronted the suspected thief.

The men exchanged words and got into a fight, according to police, and then Abdulrahman used the stolen car to ram the Mouton's other vehicle.
Mouton told police he then shot Abdulrahman in self-defense.
Police have not announced any arrests or charges in the case at the time.
