A motive for his killing wasnt immediately clear nor was it known if he was targeted, but police added nothing was stolen so it didnt appear to be a robbery.
Video from the scene shows detectives looking for clues as a section of the sidewalk under a scaffolding right in front of the Papa Johns was cordoned off with yellow police tape.
No arrests have been made, but investigators are questioning witnesses.
The investigation is ongoing. Additional witnesses are urged to call Crime Stoppers with tips.
