An armed man who allegedly tried to rob six people Monday night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, died after being shot by one of the would-be victims.

WAFB reports the robbery attempt occurred at 11:10 p.m. Monday “in the 900 block of W McKinley Street,” when an allegedly armed 20-year-old  Marcus Hayes, Jr. entered a home in which there were six people.

The Advocate reports that one of the six individuals was able to retrieve a gun, which he used to shoot and kill Hayes.

Two would-be victims were also shot but no details were provided as to whether they were shot by Hayes or the would-be victim who was shooting to stop the alleged robbery.

WBRZ reports that police located another wounded individual on Charles Street who was allegedly “involved in the incident on West McKinley Street.”

No details were provided on how the wounded individual was involved.
