NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR – Police are asking for your help in locating three suspects in an overnight convenience store robbery and murder. They say the brutal crime happened just after 9:00pm, Saturday.

North Little Rock Police examined surveillance video and say it appears the three suspects entered the EZ Mart store at 3100 MacArthur in North Little Rock to rob it. After leaving the store, one of the suspects returned and shot the clerk, killing her instantly.

North Little Rock Police identify the victim as Akiya Egeston. They tell us she was a 29 year old single mom.

Investigators say the three suspects fled the area and were last seen running behind the store and heading west on West 36th Street.

If you have any information that could help solve the crime, please contact Detective Michael Gibbons, North Little Rock Police Department. EZ Mart is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the identity, arrest and conviction of the suspects.

Myself the BLAME falls onto EZ Mart Corporation........not insuring the safety of employees! What has corporate done to Hire employees? What did the District Supervisor Do to help with apparently the employee shortage at the store/stores. I was hired by Cicle K in 91 which EZ Mart bought in 99 when after the purchase the manager of the store I was assigned at the time quit and couple employees also quit, I was asked to be acting manager till a new manager was hired. Myself and grave yard shift guy was the only ones running a 24 hour store for almost 2 months. My supervisor only said You need to hire people. I did not have the athority to place ads, did not have the time to do back ground checks on what apps I did have which i informed him about and he took apps with him. AS long as the store was being ran and customer waited on my supervisor or corporate could care less how many employees. Corporate did question me on how I was putting in so much overtime. The Family needs to ask and find the truth about the questions above. I do know what I'm talking about here!!

This is 2012 and they can't get better cameras then those? You can hang up an iphone and hit record and get better video than that crap! I hope the police catch all 3 of those thugs and kill them in the process. This young lady was only 29 years old and trying to make a living. What make me so mad is they got what they wanted and left only to return to kill her! If you lazy punks are reading this I want to know how you feel about taking this young mother's life?

itsjustme; Improve the gene pool, take 'em out! love93; I agree with you on the quality of video. It's the 21st Century; surely the stores can come up with better equipment. And for spraying or taking out the camera's; there is a solution to that also. Computers. Send the feed to a server at another location, and we have their pics before they take out the camera's. Install outside video also, so we can get a description of the vehicle they were in, and possiby a plate number.

what they need in these gas stations.. well any store is cameras that have more quality, if they have more quality then they'll be able to catch the little WANNA BE thugs. and if they were smart then they would of sprayed the cameras or knocked them down if they didn't wanna get caught on camera, (i watch a lot of movies) in plus thats common sense. but i hope they give these LITTLE BOYS life without perole it doesn't make sense on how arkansas not just little rock or nlr but arkansas, well the U.S act like their scared to step up and catch these men, boys, and kids thats making this country a lot worse then it is... but like i said these boys need to get caught and get life i wish they still did the electric chair my prayers go out to the family who lost their loved one.

It doesnt matter how many cops you have on the beat, it doesnt matter how many murderers the law catches. It will only change when these lazy ass prosecutors grow a set and stop offering plea deals for vicious crimes like this. It will only change when the morons that think a execution process is violating some killers rights. It will only get better when the justice system stops being cowards and catering to the needs/rights of the convicted and actually care about the rights of the victims and their families. Until then, crime will, as they say, go unpunished. If Arkansas is not going to carry out capital punishment, do away with that law. Let the people of the land defend themselves and their rights since the governments coward asses are not going to. It is a damn crying shame when a person cant even go to work without some crack head that is to lazy to get a job, that has no home raising at all, decides to rob their work place and then kill them. People like that do not deserve to reap the same benefits of any human. Take them out of society because they are worthless and have no purpose in life. Some say I sound harsh, and to them I say this. KISS MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Police need our help. Well, maybe if Fox16 was less interested in being politically correct as protecting other convenience store workers from these murderers, we might have a description of the suspects.
