GREENSBORO — Jury selection will begin today in the first-degree murder trial of a Greensboro man accused of fatally shooting a store clerk in November 2006.

Raytheon Williams, 20, of 607 Holt Ave. , is one of four people accused in the Nov. 25, 2006 , robbery and killing of 50-year-old Satwinder Singh.

Singh was killed while working at the Aman Mini Mart at 2303 N. Church St.

According to police and prosecutors, three masked men armed with a shotgun and two handguns went into the store about

8:50 that night. They robbed Singh and his then 14-year-old son at gunpoint. Before fleeing, someone shot Singh, who later died at Moses Cone Hospital.

A prosecutor has said he believes Williams, who was arrested in January 2007, was the shooter. The robbers made off with $500 in cash.

In August, Arthur Lecose Burton III, 22, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for his role in the heist and was sentenced to between 21 to 23 years in prison.

Murder and robbery charges are pending against a third man, 19-year-old Shawn Michael McIlvan . And the alleged get-away driver, Brittany Nicole Price, 22, faces a robbery charge.

Singh, whose family members said he moved to the United States in 2000, was a retired Indian Army soldier. He worked for a relative who owned the store.

He was the third clerk to be killed in a robbery at the store — which has had various names — over the past three decades .
