AUGUSTA - Police were searching for a man who argued with a 22-year-old who was fatally shot outside a convenience store. <br>
<br>
Henry L. Murray III went into the Mom & Pop's store on Thursday with two children, bought three soft drinks and left. Moments later, store clerk Julia Johnson heard three shots. <br>
<br>
Johnson said she went outside and ``saw a bunch of people running.'' She found Murray fatally wounded. <br>
<br>
Richmond County sheriff's Sgt. Steven Strickland said he found Murray lying near a coin-operated laundry. Murray, who was shot twice, was pronounced dead at the scene, Deputy Coroner Mark Bowen said. <br>
<br>
Johnson said Murray had come in for change to use in the pay phone outside the store. He had a loud conservation with someone on the phone, she said. <br>
<br>
``I could hear him all the way in here,'' Johnson said. <br>
<br>
He then re-entered the store with the children, she said.
