Was young store clerk’s safety in jeopardy before shooting?

The murder of convenience store worker Dharampreet Singh Jassar, who worked at the Tackle Box Convenience Store in Madera, was a horrible criminal act.

This young man of 20 years old had his whole life ahead of him, was well liked and admired by the community. I am wondering if he was working alone in the store, as there is no mention of any other employees in the store at the time.

I presume the store sells alcoholic beverages, and the under-age employee of 20 would be ringing up those purchases. My point is that the safety of this young man was surely in jeopardy.
