Business owner Don Stolz, 57, was killed inside his liquor store shortly after 12 pm during an armed robbery. Police found Stolz's body after being called to the scene by someone who reported hearing gunfire.

During his time in business, Stolz often cashed personal checks for his customers. Because of this, he was believed to have extra cash on hand in his business. Authorities believe that could be the motive.

He is believed to be driving a Chevrolet Astro van, dark green to green blue, with noticeable body damage to the left front, including the left headlight.
