According to the Santa Monica Police Department, officers were called to the 1300 block of the Promenade around 9:30pm for a report of an assault with a deadly weapon. When they arrived, they found one person critically injured inside the store. That individual was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Investigators say the business owner had arranged a private, after-hours sale with a known associate. During the meeting, a second man, believed to be connected to the associate, entered the store and sprayed the owner with a chemical irritant. A physical struggle broke out and the owner, who was carrying a legally owned firearm, shot the suspect.
