The police released a security video that showed the man entering the business with his gun and leaving with four family members, including a baby who was only eight months old. Aroohi Daheri, Jasleen Kaur, Jasdeep Singh, Jasleen Kaur, and Amandeep Sing were the victims.

Two days later, the family is still missing and investigators need your help to locate them.
