Man dies after being shot during attempted robbery at Frankfort gas station

A man died after being shot during an attempted robbery at a gas station in Frankfort late Friday.

An employee and a handyman who helped out at the store had just locked up the Marathon station at 1009 Holmes Street and were walking across the parking lot when they were approached by two men with handguns, Frankfort police Maj. Rob Warfel said.

Adan Juarez Vicente, 54, who had been helping out at the store, was shot and died at the scene, Franklin County Coroner Will Harrod said. Frankfort police were called at 10:18 p.m.

After the shooting, the two men ran toward Grand Avenue and were seen getting into a dark, possibly gray Chevrolet.
