EDMONDS — Two suspects in the murder of a 7-Eleven clerk last month were arrested Sunday morning in Enumclaw.

The morning of Feb. 21, a person shot and killed employee Nagendiram Kandasamy at the store at 8101 238th Street SW. He was 64.

Security footage reportedly shows a man, described as white and possibly in his 20s, run into the store, jump on the counter and point a handgun — likely at the clerk, who is off screen. A customer found Kandasamy bleeding and unresponsive on the floor.

Police published a still image and four seconds of security video to try to identify a suspect.

A SWAT team and law enforcement in Enumclaw seized a vehicle as possible evidence and arrested the suspects, who were wanted by the Washington Department of Corrections.

The suspects were booked into the Snohomish County Jail.
