FAIRFIELD, Ala-- The U.S. Marshal Service and Fairfield Police are looking for two men who shot and killed a jewelry store owner.
It happened around five last night at the "Jewelry For Less" store on Martin Luther King Drive.
Police said the men entered the store, smashed a jewelry case, shot the store owner in the head and took off in a black late model Nissan Maxima.
A witness followed the car into Bessemer.
54-year old Buong Lee-- an immigrant from Vietnam-- died on the scene.
Police said Lee and his wife have been in business there for at least a decade.
A long-time customer was going to the store when she saw the victim's wife outside.
“When I heard her screaming I was like 'what's wrong baby?' She was like they shot him, they shot him, and they killed my husband. I feel bad for her. I really feel so bad for her,” Brendolyn Brown said.
Police said they have several leads and hope to have the suspects in custody soon.
