The two victims were killed in the southern Giza district as they celebrated New Year’s Eve, security sources said.
Witnesses speaking to Egyptian newspaper Sada el-Balad identified the siblings as Adel and Ashraf Azar, who were friends of the shop’s owner, who survived the attack.
The assailant drove up on a motorcycle taxi and opened fire in the early hours of Monday morning.
