Arrest warrant issued for suspect in Desta Restaurant double murder case

A capital murder arrest warrant has been issued for the suspect in double murder of Ethiopian couple in Dallas Texas. A 37-year-old Abey Belette Girma has been named the prime suspect.

The affidavit for arrest warrant detailed how Abey allegedly killed Yayehyirad Lemma and Yenenesh Abayneh Desta, who were the owner of Desta Ethiopian restaurant in Dallas.

The document says Abey killed the couple because he felt they had “disrespected” him.

According to the warrant, a co-worker of the suspect contacted a police department and told officers there Abey admitted that he had killed the couple.

The witness said Abey told him he followed the couple to their home after they closed Desta Restaurant.

Abey allegedly first confronted Yayehyirad and shot him after Abey said he “continued to disrespect him.” The suspect told the witness he then shot Yenenesh because she had “also disrespected him.”

After confessing the murders Abey allegedly showed the witness the gun he used to kill the couple.
