When two masked men entered a Cleveland Taco Bell last Wednesday, they both pulled guns and ordered the employees to the ground. For one of those robbers, it would be his last order.

According to responding officers, the masked intruders entered the establishment shortly before 3 a.m. Employees were told to get face down on the ground, and as the duo approached the cash registers, three employees—who were also armed—opened fire on the suspects.

One of the robbers, 24-year-old De’Carlo Jackson, was hit multiple times. Although first aid was administered while waiting for EMS to arrive, Jackson later died at a nearby medical center. The second suspect ran out of the restaurant and remains at large, and the investigation continues.
