Store clerk Lisa LeAnne Atkins had just ended a telephone call with her mother when a hooded stranger walked into the Village Pet Mart, 3684 W. Orange Grove Road, on April 4, 1988.
Atkins was checking on her 13-month-old son, who her mother was babysitting.
The 22-year-old and a male clerk were standing at the checkout counter when the hooded man pulled out a gun and demanded money. The nervous male clerk fumbled with the keys to open the register and dropped them. When he bent down to retrieve the keys, the robber shot and killed Atkins.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department had a detailed enough description of the killer to release a sketch. He was a bearded man with sandy brown or dark blond hair, age 25 to 30, standing 5-foot-11 and weighing about 170 pounds. They think he was driving a green, older model pickup truck with wooden sides or a white camper shell.
