Members of the Prince George's County Police Department were called to the 3400 block of Donnell Drive in Forestville at approximately 2 p.m. on Wednesday, July 19, where there was a report of a fatal shooting.
Officials said that an armored truck driver was inside the coffee shop doing business with store employees when a man - whose name has not been disclosed - went behind the counter without permission.
The armored truck employee fired his weapon, killing the man. It is unclear what caused him to take the shot.
Officials said that the victim was not an employee of the coffee shop and the circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation.
Acting Deputy Police Chief Zack O'Lare said later on Wednesday afternoon that they were attempting to determine what transpired between the time the victim got into the store and behind the counter and when the armored truck driver shot him.
Witnesses are being interviewed as they continue to try and piece together the pieces.
"We're only about two hours into this investigation and things are subject to change," he warned.
More information is expected to be released.
