Dayton police responded to the AutoZone at 3818 W. Third St. just around 5:45 p.m. Sunday.
A 911 caller initially reported there was a robbery and that the suspect had a gun, according to dispatch records.
“Initial indications are that a subject entered the AutoZone store and fired one round of ammunition into the ceiling initiating a robbery of the business,” Dayton police Lt. Steve Bauer said Monday.
During the robbery, the suspect allegedly threatened a worker with the gun.
“An armed security officer, who was working at the business, confronted the suspect and discharged their firearm, striking the suspect,” Bauer said. “The suspect died as a result of his injuries.”
Dayton police are handling the investigation. The case will be handed over to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office for review.
