Two masked men tried to rob E-Zee Auto Sales, at 12450 Cleveland Road in the Cleveland community, on Oct. 5, authorities said. They hit the lone employee with a gun and then shot him before fleeing with a woman in a cream-colored Ford Fusion with 30-day license plates.

The employee, Isai Ntirenganya staggered across the road to Lane and Associates Family Dentistry, where Dr. Matthew Miller stabilized him before paramedics arrived.

There was no word Wednesday on whether Johnston County deputies have identified any other suspects in the robbery.
