Salaheldin Ahmed Hamid was a 29-year-old Sudanese graduate student at UC Davis who was shot to death in Sacramento, California, on April 26, 1977. He and another Sudanese student, Ali Ahmed Ibrahim, who had just completed his PhD, were both killed in the same incident.

Authorities say an Iraqi student, Khalid Al-Amin, carried out the shootings and was arrested and charged in connection with the deaths. Court proceedings examined motive, Al-Amin’s mental state, and the circumstances that led to the killings; coverage emphasized the impact on the campus and the international student community.

Does anyone have additional information about Salaheldin’s life in Sacramento or about witnesses who were present that day?
