FAIRFIELD, Ala. (AP) - Authorities say a Vietnamese immigrant was fatally shot in a robbery, on the eve of the 33rd anniversary of his arrival in the United States on nation's 200th birthday.
Fairfield police say 54-year-old Trieu Dong was shot about 5 p.m. Thursday at his jewelry store after two men went inside and broke a glass jewelry case. Police Chief Pat Mardis said when Duong appeared from the rear of the store, one of the men shot him in the head.
He was dead on arrival Thursday at UAB Hospital.
Although his wife was in the store at the time of the shooting, she was not injured. Two suspects were arrested Friday by police and U.S. Marshals and charged with capital murder.
