An unidentifed armed man gunned down a Nepali migrant 31-year-old Samira Siwakoti, self-employed store clerk in Texas in the United States of America, on Wedensday monring (local time).

According to a CCTV footage, the suspect entered the Rapido Convenience store at 7420 Main Street just before 11 a.m. He spent just 90 seconds in the store, stealing cash and killing clerk Siwakoti. Meanwhile, Oak Farms Dairy has announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to the man who shot and killed a convenience store clerk in The Colony.

Authorities said she is wife of the store's owner and a mother to a six-month-old baby and another child.

"I'm in shock and awe, disbelief," said Wesley Hofard, a loyal customer. "I go there every day. They are the nicest people."

Javier Cantu owns the tire shop next door. His surveillance camera captured the possible suspect, who is seen calmly walking into the store.

Cantu said shortly after, you see the suspect run out with a towel over his head. He had reportedly stolen a few hundred dollars.

Police are searching for a black male believed to be between 25 and 35-years- old. Police said he had a white towel or rag on his head, and was wearing a dark blue or black, long-sleeved T-shirt or sweatshirt with two white stripes running down the sleeves.

He was also wearing blue jeans and black athletic shoes with white soles.

The suspect was driving a newer model black four-door vehicle. The make and model of the car is unknown.

Devastated customers of the Rapido store said the owners would often extend credit to clients who couldn't afford to pay.

"They always gave credit if they were a dollar short or even five dollars short," Samantha Row said. "They didn't care, they just said, 'Give it back later to me.'"

Police and residents hope the images help identify a man who took the life of a hard working mom, loving wife, and a kind person. On Wednesday evening Oak Farms Dairy offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspect's arrest and indictment.

"Of all the places for some loser to go, he had to murder a mother and the nicest people in the community," Hofard said.
