Young Mother, Clerk Slain During Robbery
Wednesday December 15, 2004 9:16 PM
CLEVELAND (AP) - A young mother who went into a deli to buy baby formula was shot to death in a holdup along with a store clerk. Police searched for three men.The robbers entered Tony's Delicatessen on Monday and shot Jorge Santiago, 36, as he fumbled with the register, police said. They shot Rebecca Cordoves, 21, in the back as she ran away.
The robbers never got the register opened but fled with an undisclosed amount of money from the deli owner.
Cordoves' husband, with the couple's infant and year-old daughters in the car, had dropped his wife off in front of the deli during a snowstorm, and then drove around the block. He found her lying on the sidewalk.
``She was on her back, looking up at the sky,'' Francisco Cordoves said. ``I remember yelling, `Call help! Somebody please help!'''
Police followed footprints in the snow, but the tracks disappeared in an alley.
