Chief Carl said that most folks in the police department knew Javid too. They'd stop into his store for a caffeine fix or a snack on their patrol shifts and remembered him as a friendly, helpful part of their little community. Everyone they talked to described him the same way, so who would want to hurt him?

The few clues they had suggested a potential robbery because even though most everyone loved Javid... There were a few people who weren't his biggest fans, because Javid wasn't a big fan of shoplifters, and he'd caught a few. He'd also dealt with more serious confrontations.

Detective Roberts says investigators assumed at first that this shooting must have been another robbery attempt gone wrong. The only issue with that theory? Javid wasn't robbed.

And Javid even had over $400 in cash on him. So apparently whoever shot him didn't pat him down or check his pockets for money. And within arm's reach of the doorway at one stop were multiple things any wannabe robber likely would have reached out and snatched.

there were rolls of lotto tickets and cartons of cigarettes stacked up right by the registers chief carl still thinks that whoever came to the one stop was probably planning to rob javid but he doesn't think they ever made it inside the store to carry out their plan in fact he thinks they were outside and for whatever reason javid went to them the chief's theory is that because javid had been robbed before he might have just been fed up and was not about to go through it again

Maybe he saw these guys headed for his door. Maybe he heard a commotion outside. Maybe he had a gut feeling and for a split second he knew he was going to be robbed and tried to stop it.

Investigators wanted to see if anything in Javid's history at the store could be connected to the shooting. So they spoke to Rafia to see what she remembered. And pretty much right away, she pointed the finger at a repeat shoplifter who we'll call Leo. Leo lived nearby and apparently Javid had had words with him in the past over his sticky fingers.

Rafael was convinced that this guy must have been the one who pulled the trigger. But when police contacted Leo about the night Javid was shot, he had a rock solid alibi. And when word got out that Javid wasn't robbed, the talk around town started shifting toward another possibility. Was this a hate crime?
