Robbery Suspect Shot, Killed By Store Clerk

Second Attempted Robber Gets Away

A robbery suspect was shot and killed by his would-be victim inside an Oakland Park clothing store Monday night.

About 7:30 p.m., a silent hold-up alarm was detected at the Corner Urban Wear store at the Buglewood Plaza on Oakland Park Boulevard. Moments later, a 911 call was received indicating that a shooting had occurred at the same location.

Broward Sheriff's Office deputies responded and found Hung Nguyen, 17, of Lauderhill, shot to death inside the store.

The store clerk, who remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities, told deputies two men entered the store armed with guns and intended to rob the place. The clerk said he pulled out a handgun and shot one of the men. The second man fled on foot.

Deputies, K-9 units and a BSO helicopter searched the area for more than two hours but could not locate the other attempted robber. He is considered to be armed and dangerous.
