Last week, two Chinese nationals were gunned down outside their apartment building in Marabella.

Shirui Zhao, 32 and Yangli Gu, 30, operated a casino in the area.

The couple had closed the business and was returning home when they were ambushed by two men carrying automatic weapons.

They were still seated in Zhao’s car when the men opened fire on them.

Police said the killings did not appear to be a robbery.
