The clerk killed in the West Nashville gas station was identified as 58-year-old John Daniel Stevens.

Clark is five-foot-10, 168lbs, with brown hair, a beard, brown eyes and tattoos on both forearms. He was last seen in a dark colored sweatshirt and ball cap.
Police at first considered Trinity to be a runaway case. She went missing at 7am on Monday morning from her hometown of Dayton, Tennessee, about 150 miles southeast of Nashville.
Her grandmother dropped the teen girl off at Rhea Central Elementary to wait for the school bus for her high school, which she never boarded, Trinity’s mom told WRCB.
Trinity got into a car instead, mother Stephanie Reed said.
Daniel Clark is a family friend who has known Trinity since she was a baby, Reed said. Trinity even calls Clark ‘Uncle Dan.’
Clark’s phone had been turned off since 5.30am on Tuesday, in a potential effort to evade tracking, Reed said police had told her.
Clark previously worked at an automotive parts manufacturer, but his recent employment is unknown.

The Amber Alert came after Trinity was spotted on footage at the scene of the murder of Exxon clerk John Daniel Stevens, 58.
Police say Stevens was shot Tuesday night during a robbery attempt at the store.
Police found Clark’s vehicle in a nearby parking lot and believed he and the teenage girl could be on foot.
On Wednesday morning a SWAT team was searching the area near the gas station while a helicopter circled above.
