A Cleveland business owner shot and killed a man after police said the man made threats during an argument.

 

According to Cleveland police, the incident began late Thursday night when the owner of “The Kitchen,” an Internet café located at 6816 Superior Avenue, had an argument with another man over food.

 

Police said during the argument, the man made threats about shooting the store owner and then left.

 

About 10 to 15 minutes later -- just before midnight -- as the store owner was letting his employees out the front door and closing the business for the night, the man returned. Police said, this time, he was armed with two guns and threatened the café's owner for a second time.

 

According to police, during the second argument, the man brandished his weapons and the store owner shot him in the chest with a shotgun. It is unknown if the man fired any shots.

 

Cleveland EMS transported the suspect to MetroHealth Medical Center where he died.

 

The man shot has been identified as 32-year-old Donte' Abrams of Cleveland.

 

Police said the store owner is licensed to carry a concealed weapon and will likely not be charged because he was defending himself. The case will be presented to the prosecutor’s office for review.
