Two juveniles, one from Bowling Green and the other from Franklin, have been charged with the murder of a Nashville convenience store clerk.

The shooting occurred Monday afternoon at approximately 4:00, according to Metro Nashville Police, at the Kwik Sak at 4890 Lebanon Pike. A store employee, 36-year-old Vishal Patel, had a brief exchange with the suspects before 15-year-old Shawn Davis, of Franklin, fatally shot him.

Patel was transported to Skyline Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased.

Authorities arrested Davis and 15-year-old Demarcus Boyd, of Bowling Green, at 8:00 Monday night at a nearby fast food restaurant after police spotted a stolen vehicle they were driving.

In addition to the murder count, Davis and Boyd were charged with the armed robbery of the 7-Eleven convenience store on Old Hickory Boulevard in Nashville, according to Nashville.org. That robbery occurred Sunday night.
