Hatem Tim Abuharbed, a 52-year-old store clerk from Houston, was killed during a robbery at the Kay-B convenience store where he worked on February 7, 2016. Around 10 PM two men with covered faces and guns entered; surveillance footage shows one man jumping over the counter and emptying the cash register while the other ordered customers to the ground and robbed them. Some customers hid in a freezer during the robbery. Abuharbed was shot in the thigh; the bullet pierced an artery and he died at the hospital.

Both suspects are described as young African American men with slim builds; the shooter wore white Polo sneakers. A $5,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest, and the Houston Police Department is asking the public to contact Crime Stoppers. Abuharbed’s loyal German Shepherd, which waited outside his apartment after the shooting, was taken in by neighbors and a good Samaritan, a detail that underscored the community’s grief.

Does anyone have information about the two men shown in the surveillance footage or recall seeing white Polo sneakers near the store that night?
