Tragic loss: Aaron Vu (right), 10, was shot dead during a robbery inside his parents’ Miami nail salon, while his father, 42-year-old Hai Vu, was left wounded
(SOURCE) Police in Miami are on the hunt of two thugs who shot dead a 10-year-old boy and wounded his father during a nail salon robbery.
The victim, Aaron Vu, was at his parents’ business, Hong Kong Nail Salon at 14832 Northwest 7th Avenue with his father, 42-year-old Hai Nam Vu, at around 7.30pm Friday when two armed men burst through the front door and opened fire.
The intruders were caught on a surveillance camera entering the business with their guns drawn and then fleeing, but not before spraying the inside of the store with bullets.
Aaron and his father were flown to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where the 10-year-old was pronounced dead from his injuries a short time later, the station WSVN reported.
According to investigators, the unidentified gunmen, one of whom was wearing a mask, got away with customers’ purses, cell phones and an unspecified sum of cash.
They took off in an unknown direction in a black Dodge Ram pick-up truck, police told NBC Miami.
Aaron Vu’s fifth-grade classmate, Paul Namphy, said his friend was outgoing and loved making everyone laugh, including his teachers.
