The shooting was reported at a taqueria in the 6800 block of South Gessner Road around 11:30 p.m. Thursday.

Police say the restaurant was open and customers were eating when the suspect came in wearing a black ski mask and gloves and demanded money from the patrons.

According to police, the suspect pointed a pistol at the customers. Police at the scene said that the gun may have been plastic, either airsoft or a BB gun, although the investigation was still being conducted.

The police department says the suspect collected money from patrons, and then one of the other customers took out his own gun and shot the suspect multiple times.

Police say the shooter then took the stolen money from the suspect and gave it back to the customers. He and the other patrons then left, officials say.

The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.
