Composites of 2 suspects in Creech Road slaying

Raleigh, N.C. — More than a year after a convenience store clerk was gunned down in his store, Wake County authorities on Monday released composite drawings of two men wanted for questioning in the case.

Osama "Sam" Haj-Abu-Hussein, 43, was shot and killed inside the In and Out Food Mart on Creech Road on May 12, 2006. A customer found Hussein's body in the store.

Hussein's minivan was stolen from outside the store and was recovered two weeks later on Chamberlain Road.

Two men depicted in the composites were seen in the store on the day of Hussein's death, according to the Wake County Sheriff's Office.

Anyone with information about either of the men is asked to call the Wake County Sheriff's Office at 919-856-6800.

If one blurs the vision a bit and looks at the two likenesses then they might be identified by someone who has seen them.

I hope the tipster gets a reward. I want justice to be done.

Tyrone- disrespect??? I didn't know that being disrespectful is a valid reason to end someone's life! Give me a break! If I shot everyone that showed ME disrespect, I'd be good for one a day. You need to come up with a better excuse, like, oh, his father abandoned him.. or his mother was a drunk.. let's continue to put blame every where but where it SHOULD be.. with HIM! HE walked into the store.. HE aimed the gun at this poor man and HE pulled the trigger. If the clerk DID talk badly to him and HE couldn't control his anger, then HE should be LOCKED up like ALL vicious animals! There is NO valid reason to end someone's life. PERIOD! END OF STORY! And this is being typed with the UTMOST RESPECT, lest YOU hunt ME down in cold blood.

The whole respect/disrespect joke or whatever is very old. Get some new material Tyrone. Ya, those composites will help..... a year later at that.
