Miami Boy, 10, shot dead in front of parents

POLICE in Miami have launched a manhunt after two gunmen shot dead a 10-year-old boy in front of his parents during a violent robbery at a nail salon.

Aaron Vu was in the nail salon owned by his parents when the gunmen burst into the shop near closing time with their pistols drawn.

They killed the boy and critically injured his father, 42-year-old Hai Nam Vu.

Lynn Vu, Aaron’s mother, and several customers were in the salon at the time, according to the Miami Herald.

Following the shooting police blanketed the area with photos of the two gunmen, who were captured on CCTV bursting into the salon.

“They obviously didn’t think twice about taking a human life, and they’ll do it again,” detective Alvaro Zabaleta told the Herald. “This is not the time for a code of silence. This is not the time to worry about snitching.”

Video footage showed the face of one gunman, who wore a black shirt and red headband. The second suspect had what police said was a red shirt draped around his head like a ski mask.

The video shows the men storming into the store with their guns raised. They are seen a few minutes later, one of them carrying a woman’s purse.
