Dallas police have identified a murder suspect in the shooting deaths of Dallas restaurant owners Yayehyirad Lemma, 40, and Yenenesh Desta, 31; reports Fox News Dallas.

Investigators said Abey Belette Girma followed the couple home from Desta Ethiopian Restaurant which they own Wednesday night. He allegedly shot them because they had disrespected him.

The couple died on the door step of their M Street home just after midnight.

Neighbors who heard gunfire called police to the home while inside, a relative was caring for the couple's 18 months-old son.

Earlier on Thursday, $10,000 bounty was offered to whoever had information leading to the arrest and indictment of any suspects.

However, a few hours later, Dallas police announced the reward offer had been retracted and that "detectives are working on potential information."
