(THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS) — Dallas police believe a man wanted on an arrest warrant in connection with the shooting deaths of a couple who owned an Ethiopian restaurant has fled the state.
Police continue to look for Abey Belette Girma who is accused of capital murder.
Yayehyirad “Yared” Lemma, 40, and Yenenesh “Yenni” Desta, 31, shot to death about midnight Wednesday in front of their Lower Greenville home, in Dallas, Texas. The couple was returning home from Desta, the Ethiopian restaurant they operated on Greenville Avenue near Forest Lane.
According to an arrest warrant, Girma approached both of them on the front porch and shot them before running away.
A co-worker of Girma’s told police that Girma told him he had killed the couple because they had “disrespected him.” He said Girma told him that he followed them from their restaurant to their home where he confronted Lemma on the front porch of his home.
“Suspect Girma told witness … that the complainant continued to disrespect him so he shot him,” police records state. “Suspect Girma stated he next shot complainant Yenenesh because she had also disrespected him.”
The co-worker told police that Girma showed him a pistol that he used to kill the couple.
He also told police that Girma intimidated him into driving to Goodland, Kansas, where he was able to escape and call the police.

Disrespect what? Here we go gang slang or lingo if you want to call it that!!! We all know Texas has the death penalty and that is what this bum deserves. It is a matter of time before the police catch up to his sorry ass. This has the hallmarks of gang cruelty and that is what happens whenever the size of an immigrant community swells and confines itself in one neighborhood. The Irish, Italians, Chinese, Latinos from the Americas and other Asians have been going through the same brute realities. Anyhow, he should rest assured that his ass will be on the toaster sooner or later. What a scum!!!
why why why???
” they disrespected me ” what kind of ignorant and inhuman you are . You will soon learn what the real disrespect looks like when your ass is ended up in prison . You will get caught anyways . It is a matter of time . The world knows us with a highly cultivated culture , helpful and people with great compassion . You are not one of us and soon you will face real justice . Those brother and sister who are a victim of this brutal attack and nonsense act , our prayers is with you at all time . Rest in peace !!
very very sad.
