The victim was 28-year-old Son Chandaroath, cousin of karaoke star Khieu Soravy, and one of the suspects arrested is her younger brother, 26-year-old Khieu Thornvandy. Looks like it could well be a family dispute.
Interesting that the aggressors should choose to attack the victim in a mini-mart full of lights,cameras and witnesses, instead of waiting for him outside in the dark street with easy getaway. But TIC.

Police Arrest Three over Riverside Murder
Three suspects were arrested yesterday by municipal Military Police over the shooting death of a man at a mini-mart near Phnom Penh’s Night Market on Saturday night.

“The suspects are being temporarily detained at municipal Military Police headquarters in Phnom Penh,” Colonel Pou Davy, deputy commander of the capital’s Military Police, told Khmer Times by telephone yesterday.
“They are still being questioned by our military police experts,” he added, declining to speak in detail about the murder.

Keo Veansa, an officer with the municipal Military Police, said that at about 9:15pm on Saturday night, a group of five men entered the Only You Mini-Mart on Sisowath Quay in Daun Penh district’s Phsar Kandal I commune, where they beat and shot a man dead who had been drinking beer alone in the mini-mart.

The Cambodia Daily tells a totally different story:
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Monday questioned three suspects arrested over the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old employee of a convenience store in the city’s Daun Penh district on Saturday night, officials said.

Seun Chandarath had been with friends in front of the Only You Mini-Mart when one of them, Khieu Thornvandy, left to buy food, according to a report posted to the National Police’s website on Sunday.

When Mr. Thornvandy returned minutes later, he was being pursued by four or five men on two motorbikes and raced into the store, it said.

Seun Chandarath tried to stop the pursuers, according to the report, at which point a fight broke out and he was shot twice, dying shortly after...

For memory, this is the KT version:
Keo Veansa, an officer with the municipal Military Police, said that at about 9:15pm on Saturday night, a group of five men entered the Only You Mini-Mart on Sisowath Quay in Daun Penh district’s Phsar Kandal I commune, where they beat and shot a man dead who had been drinking beer alone in the mini-mart.
