Two teenagers are behind bars, accused of gunning down a Vietnam veteran in a robbery at a local carryout.

Kelly McPherson reports police announced two arrests in the crime Thursday evening and credit community outrage in helping to lead to the arrests.

Charles Bowman, 72, was not only a Vietnam veteran but also a security guard at a local paper.

His murder rocked the community more than any other murder, so much so that the police say his reputation is what motivated the public to come forward to help identify witnesses and ultimately two suspects.

"There's a lot of very upset people that this 72-year-old man, who everyone liked, on his way to work was senselessly murdered. So I think in this case, the victim's reputation helped," said Maj. Terrence McLarney, Homicide Division.
