A convenience store owner who was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds on the floor of the east Fort Worth business Thursday night was slain in what police believe was a robbery.

A customer discovered Ismail Alhasan, 61, lying inside A-C Food Store at 3601 E. Rosedale St. about 7:30 p.m., Fort Worth police said.

Detectives believe the killing was motivated by robbery, said Officer Bradley Perez, a police spokesman. He could not say if anything was stolen.

Police did not announce an arrest Friday. Perez asked “for the public’s assistance on anything that anyone may know regarding this homicide.”
