Police Searching For Killer In Miami Gardens
MIAMI GARDENS (CBS4) - Miami Gardens Police say they're on the lookout for a cold-blooded killer after the deadly robbery of a store owner.
Investigators released surveillance of the robbery and murder of Salim Ullah, 34, who owned Fast Cash and Urban Wear at 2572 NW 207th Street.
Police said on February 15th a man walked in pretending to look around, and then pulled a gun on Ullah.
The two struggled and Ullah was shot. Meanwhile, Ullah's wife, Sabhia Ullah watched from a bulletproof room that her husband had quickly directed her to when the gunman entered the store.
The gunman is seen on the surveillance video trying to open the cash register, but fails and fires a bullet at the machine. He then ran out of the store leaving the victim dying on the floor.
Sabhia is then seen as she ran over to hold her husband.
"Before her husband died, her husband said 'take care of my two children and I shall see you in heaven,'" said Nasrin Sultana, Sabhia's sister.
She said the senseless crime has torn apart the family. It has left the couple's two young daughters traumatized.
"I sleep with my sister now and the the two kids tell me why are you sleeping in my dad's place," said Sultana crying. "That's my dad's cushion. Why are you sleeping in my dad's place? Where's my dad?"
Salim Ullah was the bread winner of the family. Sultana said he died with absolutely no savings in the bank because all of his money was sent abroad to his family in Bangledesh.
"My sister she doesn't know how to drive, she's never ever worked," said Sultana. She has no idea about the United States."
Through a torrent of tears, Sultana said she doesn't know how the family will survive without Salim Ullah.
