Texas store clerk shot and killed during robbery
51-year-old Ashraf Lakhani was shot and killed while working in a Lewisville convenience store.
A newlywed convenience store clerk in Texas was shot to death early Friday during an armed robbery, becoming the second person to be killed at a business in the area in three months.
The Lewisville Police Department said in a Facebook post the incident happened just after midnight at a Valero gas station when two armed robbers walked in.
During the robbery, which was captured on surveillance video, one of the men apparently said nothing to 51-year-old Ashraf Lakhani before shooting her.
It briefly shows the two suspects coming in, Lewisville Police Capt. Dan Rochelle told FOX4. The suspect wearing the blue zippered jacket immediately shoots her, and she falls to the ground. Then, he takes the money and they both run out of the store.
Police said a customer interrupted the robbery. The customer saw the two men running away and discovered Lakhani lying on the floor. She was rushed to the hospital, but she did not survive.
Authorities released an image of one suspect wearing a blue zipper jacket with white stripes. The two men then fled the scene with about $200, according to police.
Moneys not everything, store manager Abedin Mawani told FOX4. A life. Its very sad.

Yes. And some groups have a higher infection rate than others.
Yes. I was heading to to Wal-Mart there to get a few things. Saw all the emergency vehicles and decided to avoid
I am not going to state the obvious reason for the shooting but it happens and we are going to see more of it.
These crimes must be solved and punished.
................................
In a truly civilized country, this perp would be tried, convicted of murder in the first degree, sentenced to death, and publicly hanged within 10 days of his apprehension. No appeals.
It just happened in Vancouver WA. a month or so ago. You are underestimating the evil that walks alongside us daily.
Three guys went to meet up with a drug dealer. Turned out the dealer was a no show so they figured while they were in the neighborhood they would rob a convenience/gas store. The cashier, who was a well liked young woman, whom the killer did not know, complied completely. Killer just popped her. All three now in custody, none showing remorse but pleading innocent.
You have a vivid imagination.
Yep, I'd bet they're combing over that, "Graphic" video. If it's graphic and detailed, I'd bet a cup of coffee the video captured likely shows better detail of the suspects as well. Plus there is a witness. I'd say it's a good chance they have these two suspects captured in the not too distant future.
Nobody who robs a gas station will simply walk up to the person and shoot them to death.

No? Actually I believe FBI statistics reveal that it happens somewhere in this country every couple of days.
Happens all the time. There's a lot of predators out there. Your life means nothing to them.
Yes, captured unless they resist.
I’m a bit more patient than that, but swift justice should be the norm.
Possibly. We wait for now.
World is rapidly going insane
...............................
The insanity to which you refer is a consequence of the failure of our lawmakers to create a criminal justice system that requires the swift prosecution and execution of violent criminals: Swift meaning within a period of 10 days following the day of apprehension.
You bet, crimes with this level wanton violence rate special attention.
Juries in Texas certainly understand that.
This will be dealt with.
I’d give it 30 days; however, I understand what you are saying. Murderous thugs in prison. 3 hots and a cot with the victim is 6 feet under. Nothing seem just about that. I also think it is the decay of morals and values that society as a whole faces. From a Christian perspective, Satan is alive and well.
Call me wacky but I'm going to say they're very closely related.
There is a large muslim population up there.
Likely. They would not have mentioned it, unless they suspected it. They just said they have no evidence of that. (possibly true, not don’t rule it out)
It is possible that some Terrorist elements have infiltrated our border.
Remember, Venezuela was giving valid passports to ME Iranian elements.
Remember the number of “caravans” that have reached our border.
It is possible.
