DALLAS – Two teenagers, a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old, face capital murder charges after a security guard was killed at a CVS Pharmacy in downtown Dallas, according to police.

"Their names will not be released due to their age," Dallas police said in a news release.

Anthony Egeonu, a 39-year-old husband and father of three, was shot last Friday after he confronted the suspects attempting to steal from the CVS in the 1400 block of Main Street just after 11 p.m., police said.

After the confrontation, one of the suspects pulled out a gun and opened fire before both ran away from the scene.

Egeonu later died at the hospital.    

Crime is a major issue

A woman who lives next to the CVS told CBS News Texas that crime is a major issue in the area.

"It's certainly scary, because I am at that CVS weekly ... and just thinking about someone going in and doing that," said Rebekah Montgomery.

CVS responds

A spokesperson for CVS told CBS News Texas that a third-party security company employed the victim. The store and pharmacy were open the day after the shooting.

"We're cooperating with Dallas police as they investigate the incident that occurred at our Main Street store last night," the spokesperson said.

Dallas police urge anyone with information to contact Detective M. Bird at marc.bird@dallaspolice.gov or (214) 671-3677.
