Two suspects sought in fatal D.C. liquor store robbery

Police are searching for two suspects in the slaying of a clerk during a robbery at a liquor store in Northwest Washington.

Police said Rufina Hernandez was found with multiple gunshot wounds to the face and neck about 9 p.m. Saturday. The 51-year-old from Hyattsville was pronounced dead at a hospital.

One of the suspects had a gun and collected cash from the store before shooting the clerk.

The armed suspect was described as a medium-skinned black man about 30 to 40 years old and wearing a flannel shirt.

The second suspect was a dark-skinned Hispanic man, about 6 feet tall, thin, and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt.

Metropolitan Police offer a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of someone wanted for homicide in the District.
