Zaid Ahmad Obeid was 22 and living in Sacramento when he was shot dead on February 12, 1991. He was one of three people killed that day at a Quik Stop convenience store on Auburn Boulevard; the other two victims were Stephen Anderson and Thor Johnson. Authorities reported that the suspect entered the store and opened fire, and that the apparent motive was robbery — only a few items, including a tin of beef jerky, were taken.

Investigators linked these killings to a second attack a week later at a Round Table Pizza on Watt Avenue, where three employees were also shot and killed. The suspect was later identified as Eric Royce Leonard; police recovered the murder weapon at his father’s home and the father told officers his son had confessed. Leonard’s trial led to convictions on six counts of first-degree murder and a death sentence.

Does anyone have further information about Zaid Ahmad Obeid, where he worked or spent time in Sacramento before February 12, 1991?
