Detectives need the public's assistance in identifying two suspects that brutalized a 71 year old convenience store clerk. On July 22, 2012 at 9:02 p.m., two unknown suspects entered the US 92 Convenience Store located at 102 Highway 92 W and Kings Avenue in Seffner in Tampa , FL.

One suspect grabbed the victim, Indawala by his shirt from across the counter. The second suspect holding a knife went around to the back of the counter where Indawala was standing. Indawala opened the cash register and the second suspect grabbed the drawer from inside the register.

The first suspect also came around the counter, grabbed Indawala and threw him to the ground. He then proceeded to strike the victim several times in his head and stomach while Indawala was on the ground.

The second suspect, holding the register drawer set it down out of view of the camera. He then came back to where Indawala was, kicked the victim in the head and struck him several more times. He then grabbed several packs of cigarettes from the back counter.

Both suspects exited the store and entered a dark colored four door sedan and fled in an unknown direction. The victim was initially transported to Brandon Regional Hospital and due to the extent of his injuries later transported to Tampa General for treatment. Mr. Indawala remains in the hospital.
