SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- A customer at a downtown flooring warehouse found a man dead inside the business Wednesday afternoon, according to San Diego Police.

First responders arrived and performed CPR but could not resuscitate the man.

According to police, homicide detectives were called to the 1000 block of G Street around 4 p.m. to investigate the death.

Ghedeer "Tony" Radda, 49, the owner of the business, suffered traumatic injuries to the torso, according to Lt. Matt Dobbs, but it was unclear if he'd been shot or stabbed.
