Coroner: Dublin Gas Station Clerk Shot Multiple Times

The Franklin County coroner said Wednesday that the man who was found dead in a gas station suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

A coworker found Mohamed Hassan found shot to death inside the Sunoco gas station, located at 201 W. Bridge St., at about 6 a.m. Tuesday, 10TV’s Chuck Strickler reported.

Hassan died after he was shot multiple times in the back and chest, Franklin County coroner Jan Gorniak said.

On Tuesday, police said that they were working to determine if the shooting had anything to do with a rash of recent robberies in the Dublin area.

Dublin police Chief Heinz Von Eckartsberg said that a McDonald’s restaurant was robbed at gunpoint on Jan. 17, and about two weeks later, an armed robber struck the Max & Erma’s on Frantz Road.

Investigators were reviewing surveillance video of the slaying, which was Dublin’s first in 12 years.

The circumstances surrounding Hassan’s shooting had not yet been determined.

Police planned an educational meeting for Thursday night at the Dublin Community Recreation Center to give residents and businesses tips on how to stay safe, Strickler reported.

Police said that anyone with information should call 614-410-4847.
