INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (October 13, 2015) - A gas station clerk was shot over an order of nachos, police say. Officials and family members identified the victim as Kyle Frye, 24.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) officers were dispatched to the Speedway gas station at 71st Street and Keystone Avenue around 1:15 a.m. on a report of a robbery. When they arrived on scene, they found Frye shot in the face and abdomen.

Witnesses say the suspect went into the gas station shortly after 1 a.m. and asked the clerk about nachos. The suspect exchanged a few words with the clerk before leaving. He then returned moments later, pulled out a gun and shot the clerk twice.

The suspect, Terrance Harris, 26, didn't want cash but he did take off with the nachos.

Police say Frye was able to walk to the front door and locked it until police arrived. Officers found the victim lying on the floor of the gas station.

EMS crews transported the victim to St. Vincent Hospital.

Surveillance cameras from the gas station captured clear images of Harris during the shooting. He was later taking into custody for questioning and then arrested. Harris faces preliminary charges of attempted murder and robbery.

At this point, investigators believe the shooting was random.

"In this case it's really hard to comprehend that someone walks right up to a clerk and raises their gun at someone and just shoots them," said IMPD officer Rafael Diaz.

Frye's family told FOX59 he had just transferred to the north side Speedway a couple months ago. He was working the late shift on his birthday.

"He is truly a good brother, friend, son, uncle and human being. I don't know why this senseless act of violence befell him. Thoughts and prayers are much appreciated and needed," a family member said.

As of Tuesday evening, Frye remains in critical condition.
