Dallas woman, 29, killed a store clerk and then stole a bottle of water, cops say
A Dallas woman is behind bars and accused of killing a store clerk and then stealing a bottle of water, according to reports.
Aleigha Horn, 29, has been charged with capital murder in connection to the death of 52-year-old Inayath Syed, according to Fox 4.
Police said that on July 8, Syed was working at the A&A Mart near the Dallas Zoo when Horn came into the store.
Video surveillance showed Horn placing a bottle of water on the counter, according to the report.
The clerk and suspect started to argue, which is when Horn pulled out a handgun and shot Syed in the neck.
She then left the store with the bottle of water.
Syed coworkers and responding police chased after Horn, the report noted. She was found in the woods a few blocks from the scene. Authorities also found a handgun nearby.
The worker was taken to the hospital and died on Monday. Horn was initially charged with aggravated robbery of a business, but they were upgraded after Syed’s death.
Horn was also wanted for another shooting, three days earlier, according to the report. In that case, she knocked on a door and reportedly put a gun to a person’s face. When she pulled the trigger, it did not fire.
When Horn tried again, the man was shot near his elbow.
A customer at the store told Fox 4 that Syed was a good person.
“He’s a very good guy, all about his job, very serious about his job. No complaints about him, looked out for everyone if you needed help,” Heather Valdez told the outlet.
DALLAS – Dallas police need a name for a dangerous robber who pulled a gun on a 7-Eleven clerk and walked out with the cash register drawer.
He was caught on camera. But it’s been six months, and he’s still at large.
7-Eleven Robberies
What we know:
The robbery in question happened on Jan. 13 around 10:30 p.m. at the store at 302 North Marsalis Avenue.
A Black male who is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 170 to 180 pounds walked in and waited until no other customers were inside.
“After it’s empty, he displays a handgun and points it at the cashier,” said Det. Eduardo Lopez Villa. “I don’t know what he said. He just demanded the cash from the cash register.”
Det. Villa said the suspect took the whole cash register drawer before fleeing eastbound on foot on 8th Street.
