Police released a security camera image showing one of the two suspects the moment after the clerk was killed.
Police said they hope someone will recognize the man and come forward.
Friends of the victim and longtime customers said they remember Lakhani as someone who looked out for them.

The scene of this murder is only a few feet from where Sam Shah was robbed and killed in November while closing his liquor store.
Police said they don't believe they are related.
