East Point police are investigating the death of a security guard found in a crashed white SUV next to Clarus Linen Service.

Police say one of the businesses employees called 911 to report an SUV crashed into the fence outside their building.

The employee also told police the front of the SUV caught fire when it crashed, but another employee put it out.

Police say the man behind the wheel of the truck was a security guard at Tri-Cities Plaza, which is about 300 feet from the crash scene.

Investigators found broken glass in the parking lot that matches the glass from the crashed SUV.

According to police, the security guard was shot and involuntarily put his foot on the gas pedal.

Police are investigating this as a suspicious death.
