Store owner found shot, killed at south Fulton home

Police are working to track down a killer who ambushed a father minutes after he arrived home from a store he owned.
 
Hardy Touray, 45, was the owner of 2 Rays Mart, a convenience store on Stonewall Tell and Butner roads in College Park.
Fulton County police say someone shot the father of two in the driveway of his home on Hilltop Way just before midnight Wednesday.
 
They still don’t have a motive in the shooting.
 
Channel 2’s Tom Jones spent hours tracking developments in the investigation. He’s spoken to several people and all of them said they don’t know of Hardy having problems with anyone.
 
One customer described him as a person who’d give the shirt off his back.
 
“He was very caring. He would come fill your tank for you if you're buying gas. He was very nice,” the customer said.
 
Jones also spoke to the victim’s brother, Hassan Touray, who says his brother was very concerned about his safety because his home had been broken into a few times. He believes robbery was the motive in his brother’s death.
 
“It’s got to be the work of somebody who knows him at the gas station here; knowing that he owns a gas station and following him, thinking he’s got money at home,” said Hassan Touray.
 
He says his brother never kept money at home.
 
In a tearful plea for help, Hassan Touray asked anyone with information to come forward and call police.
 
“Please. Anybody that know who is behind this come forward. Hardy (didn't) have a problem with anybody,” Hassan Touray said.
