Bridgeport store owner shot and killed in robbery, 2 sought

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) A Bridgeport store owner has been shot and killed in a robbery at his business and police are looking for two suspects.

Police said 57-year-old Jose Salgado and his wife were working in their store, Sapiao's Grocery, when two armed men came in at about 3 p.m. Saturday and demanded money. Police said Salgado gave them money, but one of the suspects shot him.

Salgado was taken to a hospital, where he died at about 3:45 p.m.

Police said surveillance video shows the suspects walking toward the store along Linen Avenue, then running away in the direction they came from. Witnesses told police the men got into a bright green car with a third person inside and drove away.

Salgado was the second Bridgeport store worker killed in the last month. No one has been arrested.
