On September 7, 2015, 17-year-old high school senior Faares Yousef was shot to death alongside his older brother, Khasem Yousef, while working at their family’s convenience store, Snappy’s Mart, in Palmetto, Florida. The brothers were reportedly shot execution-style in the head between 2:30 and 2:45 p.m.; a customer discovered them shortly afterward. Surveillance footage captured the suspect walking calmly to the counter and opening fire without warning.

Police quickly identified 25-year-old Devin Chandler as the suspect. Chandler, described in the report as a convicted felon with a prior armed robbery history, was identified from video and after his mother recognized him in the footage and alerted authorities. He was arrested the next day in Tampa and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of armed robbery.

The Yousef family, of Palestinian descent, was left devastated; the brothers were remembered for their love of soccer and their close family ties. Who in the community might have information about that afternoon at Snappy’s Mart?
