Faruk Bhuiya, a 48-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant and convenience store clerk, was shot and killed during a robbery at Metro Food Mart in northwest Houston on November 10, 2018. Surveillance footage shows two men in hooded sweatshirts entering the store around 9 PM; one, later identified as 18-year-old Jose Bonilla-Ortiz in a dark hoodie, wedged a weapon in a security door and fired a fatal shot to Bhuiya’s face as Bhuiya tried to close the door to protect the cashier area.

Bonilla-Ortiz was arrested on November 17, 2018, charged with murder, held on $250,000 bond, and records show an ICE detainer because he is not believed to be a U.S. citizen; he had been deported in 2016. Bhuiya’s wife, Phyllis, who lived behind the store, expressed grief and a desire for justice. The Houston Police Department is asking anyone with information about the red-hoodie suspect to come forward.

Did anyone in the area see the two men near the store that night or recognize the red-hoodie suspect?
