Brothers Killed In Florida Convenience Store Robbery

Two brothers were killed in an execution-style shooting while working at their father's convenience store in Palmetto, Fla., Monday afternoon.

Khasem Yousef, 23, and Faares Yousef, 17, were inside Snappy's Kwick Mart between 2:30 and 2:45 p.m. when the suspect allegedly came inside the store and picked up a few items as if he were a regular customer, said Palmetto Police Chief Scott Tyler, according to the New York Daily News.

"Then he walks up to the counter like he was going to pay and shoots them, execution-style," said Tyler. "It was pretty cold-blooded."

Using video surveillance from the crime scene, the Palmetto Police Department were able to identify the gunman as 25-year-old Devin Chandler, reported the Daily Mail. According to records obtained from the Department of Corrections, Chandler is a convicted felon who was released from prison in 2011 after serving less than two years on a three-year sentence for attempted armed robbery.
