A Missouri City convenience store clerk was shot with a rifle and killed during a robbery Sunday night.

Bhattarai Ashok, 21, of Houston, was found dead next to the cash register at about 10:10 p.m. at the First Stop Food Store, at 2563 Cartwright Road. Police arrived after receiving a call that a man was down at the store.

A police spokesman said Ashok had been shot to death. Surveillence video Missouri City Police detectives obtained showed a black man about 5 feet, 10 inches tall wearing a do-rag opened the door to the store and fired a rifle, striking Ashok.

The assailant then walked over to a safe that Ashok had just opened, pulled out about $5,000 in cash and walked out, police reports said.

The police spokesman said a second clerk was in the cooler re-stocking the store while the shooting and robbery occurred, and apparently didn't hear anything.

"We're looking at the videos - not only from last night, but during the whole day," in hopes of more information, the police spokesman said. The case is being treated as a homicide investigation.

Ashok's family, from the Dallas area, was informed of his death Monday morning.
