Despite initial reports that they were investigating another homicide, police officials confirmed Tuesday that they will not classify the shooting death of a store robber as a murder.
Head of the Central Detective Unit Superintendent Paul Rolle said yesterday that police officials will not bring criminal charges against a store owner who shot and killed a man who attempted to rob his Lincoln Boulevard store on Monday.
