In the late hours of the evening on Saturday, March 27, 1993, in Mesquite, Texas, at approximately 11:20 p.m., convenience store clerk, Pete Shrum, was shot and killed by two armed robbers. Shrum cooperated with the robber's demands and made no attempt to fight back against them. Despite his cooperation, the robbers murdered him in cold blood. The horrifying crime was all captured on camera by two security cameras installed in the store. The footage is extremely graphic and very difficult to watch. Footage of the murder received wide publicity at the time of the crime and was shown on television to help identify the killers. Since then, the footage has been featured in many documentaries relating to crime. The murder was shown on both Real TV and Banned from Television. It was also shown on CBS Evening News, in a segment called Eye On America, on November 9, 1993. Shrum's son Greg was also interviewed on the program about the murder of his father.
