Twelve-year-old Badraldeen Badr Mohamad Elwaseem was killed by a stray bullet that entered his family’s apartment on William Street in Buffalo, New York, on April 6, 2019, at about 8:30 p.m. He was in the kitchen when the bullet struck him in the head; a 22-year-old man was also wounded in a nearby parking lot shooting that same evening. Emergency responders took Badraldeen to a children’s hospital, where he later died.

The shooting occurred outside the apartment and investigators treated Badraldeen as an unintended victim of that gunfire. The FBI and Crime Stoppers have offered a reward, which has grown to $32,500, for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Badraldeen was described by his family as an excellent and promising student. Does anyone who was in the William Street area that night or who has information about the parking lot shooting have details to share with investigators?
