Farouk Haifa, 52, was killed on April 15, 2013, at his San Antonio convenience store, Stanley’s Ice Station, on the city’s South Side. An employee found him about 7 a.m., lying facedown behind the front counter with multiple chest wounds. There were signs of a struggle and it appeared he fought back before succumbing to his injuries; police described the incident as a robbery gone bad.

No money was missing from the register, which surprised family and neighbors. Haifa had reported an earlier robbery at the same store on April 8, 2013, when a heavyset Hispanic man wearing a blue Dallas Cowboys hoodie and a surgical mask took an iPhone, jewelry, cash, and a class ring engraved with Haifa’s name. Investigators believe that incident may have escalated into the fatal confrontation a week later.

Haifa’s death reverberated through the community; customers and friends left flowers and remembered him as generous and well-liked. Police appealed for information and no immediate arrest had been announced. If anyone knew about the April incidents or the man seen at the store, can you share what you know?
