Police are investigating a shooting at a local food mart Tuesday morning.
Investigators with the St. Petersburg Police Department said it happened outside the Obama Express Food Mart at 1400 18th Ave. South around 3 a.m. when a man, identified as 23-year-old Jhai-quel Rai-Tez Black entered the store after an argument outside.
Security guards asked Black to leave, but said he refused and pulled out a gun.
The guards fired theirs first, shooting and killing Black at the scene.
Detectives are reviewing the store’s surveillance footage and will forward their findings to the State Attorney’s Office to determine if any charges should be filed.
“I haven’t seen the video,” St. Petersburg police spokesman Michael Puetz said. “But the information I have at this point is that the gun itself was out, displayed, in his hand, but not pointed at any given specific direction, just being kind of waved across the perimeter of the store.”
Puetz was describing the early morning shooting death by two armed security guards of Jhai’quel Rai-Tez Black, who just turned 23 Friday. Black was allegedly arguing with another man outside, then inside, the Obama Express convenience store on 18th Avenue South at about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday.
