Shortly after 6 p.m. on Sept. 28, 2009, two gunmen entered Avi Pawn and Jewelry in the Minneapolis suburb of Richfield. After stealing a small sum of money, one of the criminals fired a single shot that grazed the store clerk and fatally wounded a customer. The local news usually supplements these stories with grainy, off-center pictures of the crime captured from store surveillance cameras.

After viewing footage from other local surveillance cameras, the police identified the getaway car and took a third accomplice into custody.
