7-11 clerks murder during robbery in Wilkinsburg goes 30 + years with no answers

The store along  1614 Penn ave in Wilkinsburg  now an independent C store was once part of the 7-11 food store chain and it has been the subject of numerous Hold ups over the years but in 1982 it was the scene of a murder .The stores owner Eustace Durado 52 was found stabbed in the store by a neighborhood youth who stopped in to shop when he found Eustace stabbed and having  bleed to death on the floor by  unknown assailants


Its is one of the oldest cold cases in the eastern suburbs  of Pittsburgh  and there has been absolutely no leads who or why. 
The store now has a security window for after dark and cameras something it did not in 1982
When security cameras where still very expensive Black& White  and not very good in quality.
Thousands ride past this store daily as they go down Penn Ave the original US 22 /30 to the city to work 
but at night its isolated with few close homes mostly apartment buildings that sit back from the road.
Hopefully some one will come forward with information but this was just as the mills went down and people scattered to all points of the country So unless there is a DNA match some day it will go down as unsolved.
