A small memorial of candles was left behind in front of the store Wednesday morning. Regular customers of the store say Singh, a Navy reservist and father of two young boys, was at the store every day.

Downey police investigators spent the morning scouring the store for clues.

Late Thursday, police released images of the suspects along with video footage from the store's surveillance camera in hopes that someone recognizes the suspect and comes forward with that information.

Anyone with information about the shooting can call Downey police Detective Richard Garcia at (562) 904-2330 or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (8477).
