MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WTVF) — Around midnight Saturday, there was a robbery at Cedar Creek Marina and Restaurant in Mt. Juliet.

According to Mt. Juliet Police, two of the staff were assaulted and forced to open the safe. After the robbery, the suspects ran away from the scene.

When the Wilson County police arrived, they found a 27-year-old man unresponsive and attempted to revive him — he had several gunshot injuries, and unfortunately died on scene.

The Wilson County Sheriff's Office says the shooting happened after the robbery — occurring while the suspects were fleeing the scene.

They believe these two incidents are connected.
