It is still unclear what happened subsequently but a man in his mid 40s, thought to be the owner of the shop, was stabbed and died from his injuries less than an hour later.
The man's body remains at the scene, which has been sealed off.
Gardaí have appealed to the public for help and are particularly interested in establishing the identity of a man described as being 6'4" wearing a dark jacket who was in the area at the time.
