- RELATED STORY: 3 Cases Where A Good Guy With A Gun Saved The Day
Right now, one of the only accounts of what happened comes from Ed Marrero, whose son works at the T-Mobile store located in the city’s Lower Garden District neighborhood. Marrero said his son called him to tell him about the robbery.
Marrero’s son was working at the T-Mobile store at around 7:25 p.m. when a man entered the store and produced a gun. He then ordered everyone into a back room in the store while he opened the store’s safe.
Marrero says the bad guy was reaching into the safe when a customer suddenly drew a gun of his own and shot him multiple times, killing him.
Police arrived and recovered the firearms used by both the suspect and the armed citizen, who was then questioned by police.
