A man was killed in a Taco Bell drive-thru on Sunday, according to Lorain police.
Just after 11 p.m., Lorain police said, a man was killed in a "possible botched" robbery attempt in a Taco Bell drive-thru, located at 3671 Oberlin Ave.
The victim was identified by police as 49-year-old Robert Gnizak, of Lorain.
Gnizak's friends told NewsChannel 5 he was helping a friend with their Sunday paper route, stopping at Taco Bell before heading out. He was ordering food when a man ran up to his car.
The man took what he could, shot Gnizak and ran off. Gnizak was found laying dead in the drive-thru when police arrived.
