The brothers, who moved there from Iraq in the mid-1970s, own a convenience store at the intersection of Seven Mile and Van Dyke roads, an easy rifle shot from streets lined with abandoned houses and open-air drug markets.

Gibson and Burke dueled to the finish, with Burke coming out on top, covering the five-mile course in 25:58. Gibson finished second, a mere three seconds back...
