Following the fatal shooting of a clerk in the Charlotte Pike Exxon market in downtown Nashville, workers spent days preparing the store to reopen.
At first glance, nothing seemed out of place inside the Exxon market on Charlotte Pike Friday. The isles were fully stocked, the day's rain showers were heard throughout the store, but there was no one behind the counter.
A sub-contractor worked to repair the flooring. She chipped away at the tiles just as Daniel Clark and Trinity Quinn were accused of chipping away at the heart of this community.
On Tuesday night, they were accused of walking into the market with a plan to steal a set of keys. The van they arrived in was out of gas in the Wal Mart parking lot just down the road. Working behind the cash register, was 58-year-old John Stevens. When the duo left, he was dead and they were on the run. The evidence left behind could still be seen in the store.
"Over here where the cashier works you'll see some shots, you see behind telephone," one subcontractor explained.
They were working in order to re-open the store on Saturday. Meanwhile, the memorial of flowers outside the front door continued to grow.
