According to investigators, the suspects were captured on surveillance video at the home. Police say it showed "the minutes leading up to the homeowner being killed."

The incident happened last Wednesday evening, Oct. 9, at a home on Lawton Street.

Inside the home, police say they found 35-year-old Aaron Evans fatally shot.

Police said their preliminary investigation showed the perpetrators had ransacked the home before running off. The motive appeared to be robbery.

A third suspect is also wanted in the case. Police have released a surveillance photo of the man they are trying to identify.
