LAKE CITY, Fla. — Police and members of the community are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of two suspects in a Friday, April 27, 2012 robbery that left the store’s owner dead.
Police were notified of the robbery at 1:36 Friday evening and arrived at A & M Discount Beverage to find one person shot dead and the suspects gone, according to a release from Lake City Police Department Public Information Officer Steve Shaw.
Officers determined that the victim, 55-year-old Rajni Patel was the owner of the store, and Shaw said the suspects also fired shots at Patel’s wife Daxa, but missed her.
Witnesses told police there are two suspects. One was described as a young black male who was about 5-foot 7-inches tall with short hair. They told officers the suspect was wearing a gray T-shirt and jean shorts. Shaw said this suspect took money and then ran from the scene.
Shaw described the other suspect as a light-skinned black man who appeared to be in his mid 30s and weigh between 230-250 lbs. He was wearing a straw hat, white baggy T-shirt, light blue jeans and dark shoes.
The second suspect, who was wearing white tape across his nose and on the left side of his neck, entered the store and shot the victim before fleeing.
As he left, the suspect tried to steal a white Mercury in the store’s parking lot, but the car’s owner refused to let him in. Instead, the Mercury’s owner went to another convenience store and called 911. The suspect ran from the scene after his attempt at carjacking failed.
Since the second suspect fled on foot, three schools in the area were locked down: Melrose Elementary School, Richardson Middle School and Eastside Elementary.
