Police say the man accused of murdering two North Texas convenience store clerks admitted to the killings and confessed he didn't give them time to comply with his demands.Davonta Mathis is charged with murder for killing 60-year-old Muhammad Hussain in Mesquite and then, just a little over a day later, 32-year-old Gopi Dasari in Dallas .Investigators say Mathis admitted he used a stolen truck and a gun bought illegally to commit the crimes.

But when he walked in, looked at him, so he shot him because he did not want him to run out and call the police."‘Again, I can’t speak for what somebody would or wouldn’t have done," Sgt. Phillip said. "But I would assume he would’ve probably just complied and given the man whatever he wanted."Police say Mathis got away with stolen lottery tickets, and he was seen on surveillance cashing them out in Hillsboro, just north of Waco, where he’s from.
