Detectives with the Woodstock Police Department are investigating an attempted armed robbery at a local establishment that left a store clerk dead.

Officers responded to an armed robbery call around 11:45 p.m. Wednesday, May 20 at Smoke 911, located at 8265 Highway 92.

Once they arrived onto the scene, officers were met by a witness who said that, as he walked into the store, two men allegedly followed him into the store and tried to hold up the place, Woodstock police said in its press release.

The store clerk, identified as 20-year-old Enrique Delos-Reyes, was shot once, but the witness was not injured. The clerk was transported to WellStar Kennestone Hospital where he died from his injuries.

The suspects are described as black men of average height. One suspect also has a thick build. They allegedly left the store in a grey, four-door BMW that had a dealer’s drive-out tag.

Woodstock police spokesperson Brittany Duncan said a similar armed robbery occurred May 19 at a Smoke 911 location in Kennesaw, and the vehicle spotted at that store matches the one described in Woodstock.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has also released a composite sketch of one of the two suspects.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or 404-577-8477. Callers can remain anonymous.
