The Colony police are looking for a man responsible for killing a mother of two young girls in an armed robbery Wednesday morning.
Surveillance video shows a man walking into the Rapido Convenience Store in the 7400 block of Main Street, demanding money and then shooting 31-year-old store co-owner Samira Siwakoti in the face, according to authorities.
Police said it appears from surveillance video that Siwakoti did not try resist in any way. The man was able to escape with money from the cash register.
"They didn't deserve it," store sales representative Noelle Mosher said. "I just wanted to give my sympathy to them and let them know we're thinking about them. Everyone in the community loved them."
Siwakoti was the mother of two girls, ages 9 months and 2-years-old.
Her husband is surrounded by family and friends.

"It's almost impossible to express in words how he's feeling and how he's doing, when you lost your beautiful wife in that manner," said friend Bal Joshi.
"It just really hit close to home," friend Alicia Mims said. "It's hard to hear about any mother being taken away from a child so young."
Police described the man as 25- to 35-years-old. They said he was wearing a white towel, or rag, on his head, a dark blue or black long-sleeve T-shirt or sweatshirt with two white stripes on the sleeves, bluejeans and black athletic shoes with white soles.
Police said a man matching that description entered a nearby black, four-door newer model vehicle of unknown make with temporary tags.
Oak Farms Dairy is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the man responsible in the shooting.
Anyone with information that could help authorities should contact The Colony Police Department at 972-625-1887.
