DeKalb County police are investigating the shooting death of a clerk Monday morning at a convenience store on Memorial Drive. <br>
<br>
The body of 36-year-old Zul Charania was found just before 9 a.m. Monday morning inside the Marathon Food Mart. <br>
<br>
DeKalb police Lieutenant L.J. Florea says investigators believe the clerk was killed sometime after 7:30 a.m. <br>
<br>
A witness said she spotted a man walk out of the store, lock the door, and then drive off in the victim's white Lexus. <br>
<br>
Police are showing the store's other clerks print-outs of the suspect from the store's surveillance camera in hopes someone will recognize the killer. <br>
<br>
The killing was the second fatal shooting of a convenience store clerk in the county in less than a month. <br>
