A 23-year-old T-Mobile employee who was shot last Sunday during an armed robbery at the phone company’s Canton store has died, Baltimore Police said.

Police said the man, whom they identified as Fabian Alberto Sanchez-Gonzalez, died from his injuries on Monday.

The shooting occurred at the phone company’s retail store in the 2500 block of Boston Street just before 4:30 p.m.

Police said that two unidentified males entered the business and announced a robbery.

During the robbery, one of the males shot the employee before demanding the property of several people in store. Both males fled on foot.

The employee was taken to a local hospital for treatment and was initially listed in critical and unstable condition.

In an emailed statement Tuesday, a spokesperson for T-Mobile said the company takes “the safety of employees seriously and will do everything we can to support our third-party retailer as this investigation continues.”

“This is a tragic situation, and we continue to send our condolences to the friends, family and co-workers of the employee whose life was cut short,” the spokesperson said.
