The only witness
The evening of Jan. 20, 1994, started like any other for Fogle.
The 30-year-old was sitting in his car outside the store in the 900 block of South East Military Drive, writing his nightly activity log. The last entry was around 1 a.m.
Police believe that things took a dramatic turn.

"There was an alarm going off, so we believe that caught his attention," said SAPD Detective Michael DeLeon. "He exited his car to go investigate what was happening at the front of the store. As he was walking away from his vehicle, this is when he was, we believe, confronted by these would-be burglars. Mr. Fogle made a run for the front door and was shot in the back multiple times, killing him instantly."
Police know of only one witness: a security guard who was working at the Taco Cabana across the street. He heard the shots and called police.
