While Russo is in custody, Rossignon remained at large as of Thursday. 

Investigators determined Rossignon and Russo were in an altercation on Bruno Avenue that led to several shots being fired in the air from a handgun.  No one was injured in that shooting.

Shortly afterward, officers who had responded to that shooting heard gunshots and determined that Rossignon and Russo were involved in the fatal shooting of Raouf after a confrontation with employees of the convenience store.

Alan Agloro, 43, was also identified as allegedly being involved in the case and was later arrested at a home in Pittsburg, according to police.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Detective Jonathan Elmore at (925) 252-4875 or the Pittsburg police tip line at (925) 252-4040.
