Manhunt for suspects in deadly South Fulton convenience store robbery

SOUTH FULTON, Ga. - South Fulton police have released an image of the two men wanted for a deadly convenience store shooting on Tuesday evening.

Officers were dispatched to the Quick Pick Food Mart located in the 5200 block of Welcome All Road. South Fulton police said officers found a 44-year-old store clerk suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Medics pronounced the clerk dead at the scene.

Investigators spent the evening combing over the scene for evidence, reviewing surveillance video, and speaking to witnesses. They quickly were able to tie the deadly robbery to a second, earlier robbery which happened minutes before and about a mile and a half southwest of the convenience store.

Police said the pair had entered the Dollar General store located at 4837 Roosevelt Highway. Surveillance video there was able to capture the masked me clearly.

One was wearing all black with a black ski mask. The other suspect was wearing a yellow hoodie with black Adidas track pants and army fatigues. Each of the men wore one glove.

Investigators said there were no reports of injuries at the Dollar General, but as they left the convenience store, they opened fire, killing the clerk.

Store owner Seyed Buhari said 44-year-old Tony Zeneabe was killed. He told FOX 5 his wife, Zeneabe's brother, was at the store at the time. He called Zenabe his right- and left-hand man who has been working at his store for the past three years. He also said Zeneabe was a father and husband. Buhari expressed disbelief questioning why anyone would want to shoot him.

"Tony was a good guy. He didn't deserve what happened here today, you know," said customer Terrance Williams. "I just seen him yesterday, that's what's crazy."

A makeshift memorial was set up in front of the store to honor Zeneabe.

"It makes me more angry than anything that somebody could do somebody like that that I personally know," said Williams. "It kind of makes me want to just yell like 'What the... going on?'"

Police said the men might be driving a newer model Bronze Chevrolet Malibu.

Anyone with information is asked to call the South Fulton Police Department of Crime Stoppers Atlanta.
