The 23-year-old’s brother said he saw the crime through remote video surveillance, according to a report.
A man appears to have been killed during an attempted robbery Tuesday night, the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office reports.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, a man called law enforcement and reported that through remote video surveillance he saw two armed people pointing guns at his brother at Green Galaxy Smoke Shop, 3212 1st St. W., Bradenton, at about 11 p.m.
Deputies arrived at the scene, established a perimeter and cleared the business. Mohammed J. Hamed, 23, was found dead.
Detectives say it appears to be an attempted robbery. Law enforcement is not releasing the manner in which Hamed was killed, citing the investigation. They released two images from security video, which showed two people armed with a rifle with a bayonet.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 941-747-3011 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 866-634-TIPS.

Damn...I'd never thought I'd live to see the day a deployed bayo would be used in a robery.
Police don't say, but I believe the victim was murdered by bayo.
It's a different world...

Dumbass perp has the grenade launching sight deployed on that Yugo - which means the gas system is shut off and the rifle is a single shot. May explain why he thought he needed the bayonet.

Probably a good bit right now since they've been talking about banning some vape stuff. Not like guns are the only thing that get panic bought.
