Florida Man Sees 23-Year-Old Brother's Killers On Video

BRADENTON, FL — A Florida man saw his 23-year-old brother's murderers on remote surveillance video and called police Tuesday night with the chilling details.

But the call was too late.

Mohammed J. Hamed was already laying dead on the floor of the backroom at the Green Galaxy Smoke Shop by the time deputies arrived. Police were not immediately ready to say how Hamed was killed.

The call from his brother was placed at 11 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

"The reporting party called and stated that by remote video surveillance he could see two people with guns pointing them at his brother," the sheriff's office explained. "He stated that his brother was on the ground."

The smoke shop is located at 3212 1st Street West in Bradenton. The store website says that it offers a variety of healthier ways to smoke from herbs to oils.

Hamed would have celebrated his 24th birthday in a few weeks.

"Deputies arrived on scene, established a perimeter, and cleared the open business," the Manatee sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office released surveillance images of two gunmen, one of whom was carrying an SKS rifle with a bayonet.

"It appears to have been a robbery attempt," said the sheriff's office. "For investigative reasons, the manner of violence used is not being released at this time."
