Houston police believe the masked men didn't steal anything. The two left quickly after the deadly shooting.
They say the victim, a 29-year-old Palestinian man, was a recent immigrant to the United States.
"This is horrible. This man, 29 years old, came to this country for a better life, to support his family, and he gets gunned down for it ... it's not right. These guys need to be caught," Lt. Meeler with HPD Homicide said.
