Deaths Of Evanston Brothers Being Investigated As Double Homicide
EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- The deaths of two brothers found in the basement of their Evanston tobacco shop last week are now being investigated as a double homicide.
Police say they haven't ruled out robbery as a motive and that they have no suspects in custody.
38-year-old Mohammed Abdul Azim Hakeem and 34-year-old Mohammed Abdul Mubeen Hakeem were found in the basement of Evanston Pipe & Tobacco one week ago.
The family shop has been operating in downtown Evanston for more than 30 years. The brothers took over the business about five years ago, after their father -- an immigrant from India who opened the store 35 years ago -- became wheelchair bound.
