Yosef Tulu was 31 when he was shot and killed on January 21, 2014, while working as a clerk at a Garland, Texas 7-Eleven. An Ethiopian immigrant studying nursing and planning to marry his fiancée in Ethiopia, Tulu was remembered for his friendly demeanor; his death prompted a large vigil and a family fund to help his survivors.

Police later arrested 18-year-old Colten Jon Moore and charged him with capital murder. Surveillance footage reportedly showed a masked Moore carrying a scoped rifle, entering the store, robbing Tulu and shooting him twice. He confessed and admitted to a separate shooting of another convenience store clerk a week earlier; Moore said he used his father’s rifle and had planned the attack.

The family’s brother-in-law, Andualem Shoro, spoke for the family asking for prayers and support. If anyone knew Yosef or has information about the case, please share what you can.
