Customer Killed During Restaurant Robbery

Posted: 5:48 am EST January 10, 2006Updated: 5:46 pm EST January 10, 2006

DEKALB COUNTY -- DeKalb County police are investigating the death of a customer who was shot as he startled two men holding up a restaurant where he went to get take-out food.

Police say the man, identified as 28-year old Abdihakim Adam, was a regular at Madina, an Ethiopian-Somalian restaurant on Memorial Drive.

They say Adam had gone into the kitchen to pick up his nightly order just after 10:00 p.m. yesterday and came out to find two armed men demanding that the cashier open the register.

Adam, a baker, was shot in the head. Police say the register had only $60 inside, and the robbers left without taking the money.

Police are still searching for the gunmen.
