Second victim in Mac’s store robbery and shooting spree identified

EDMONTON- Friends and family are mourning the death of 41-year-old Ricardo Cenabre. The convenience store employee was killed at a south Edmonton Mac’s store early Friday morning.

Masked thieves burst into the Pleasantview store around 3:30 a.m.

Michael Castro, a friend of the victim, said Cenabre had lived in Canada for about 5 years. “He was a very responsible guy,” Castro said. Cenabre often worked the night shift at the store, sending money back to the Philippines to support his wife and child. Castro described his friend “Ricky” as “very friendly.”

Police have charged three suspects; a 26-year-old man, a 24-year-old man and a 13-year-old boy.

A GoFundMe account has been set up for Cenabre’s family.
