TERRELL (CBS 11 News) ―
Two suspects are under arrest for the shooting of two Pizza Hut employees in Terrell on Saturday night. The crime is thought to have been part of a robbery attempt turned fatal.
The two in captivity are 23-year-old Bianca Newman and 19-year-old Anthony Holliman. They arrived at the Terrell Police Department on Friday evening, and are both being held on capital murder charges.
Police are also searching for two more suspects, 20-year-old Darius Hubbard and 19-year-old Justin Prox, both of which have been identified and connected to the case.
They are all current or former employees of the Pizza Hut where 40-year-old Pat Oferosky and 47-year-old Stephen Mitcheltree were shot and killed.
"All I can say is that, in the late night hours, these suspects entered the business and immediately shot the victims and robbed the place of $1500," said Lieutenant Richard Peavey of the Terrell Police Department.
The break in the case came from the owner of a beer barn across the street, who received bloody $10 and $20 bills from one of the suspects.
Police say that one of the suspects was recently fired from the restaurant, and that revenge may have led to the murders.
Meanwhile, a memorial continues to grow around the restaurant that remains closed.
