The Dallas Police Department is asking for the public’s help identifying a suspect wanted in the killing of a 7-Eleven clerk during a robbery.

Dallas police responded to a shooting call at 6:10 a.m. Monday in the 400 block of North Hampton Road, where officers found the 54-year-old victim, Nathaniel Ogbolu, with gunshot wounds. Dallas Fire-Rescue also responded to the scene and transported Ogbolu to a hospital, where he died.

An unidentified man entered the store and pointed a gun at Ogbolu and demanded money from the register, according to surveillance video obtained by police.

Before Ogbolu was able to open the register, the gunman shot him several times. The gunman also shot at a witness, but missed, according to police.

The suspect ran from the location on foot.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective David Grubbs at 214-671-3675 or by email at david.grubbsjr@ dallaspolice.gov.
