Police say 25-year-old Demarcus Brandon tried to rob the store near South East End Avenue and East 87th Street around 6:30 p.m. before he and the clerk engaged in a shootout. Though police don't know who shot first, Brandon was struck multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene, the Tribune reports.
According to court records, Brandon had been paroled earlier this year after serving time for a string of weapons and robbery convictions, WGN reports.
