Anwar Badruddin Machiwalla, known as Andy, was shot and killed during a robbery at his Three Palms Grocery store on Highway 88 in Stockton, California, on July 11, 2016 — his 63rd birthday. The shooting occurred around 5 p.m. when an armed man entered the store, demanded money, and shot Machiwalla as he was leaving; he died near the store entrance despite attempts to save him.

Machiwalla emigrated from Pakistan in 1990 and co-owned the neighborhood grocery. He was remembered for generosity and community support, often providing free food and essentials to those in need. Investigators describe the suspect as a light-skinned male wearing a bandana over his face who fled in a large black SUV. The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office has been seeking information; no arrests have been announced and a reward of up to $10,000 has been offered for tips leading to an arrest.

If anyone knew Andy, saw activity near Three Palms Grocery on July 11, 2016, or has information about the suspect or the large black SUV, please come forward.
