Saleh Ahmed, 56, was shot and killed while working at his convenience store, Fiesta Food Mart on Magnolia Street in Arcadia, Florida, on May 14, 2021. The shooting happened around 2:30 p.m. during a robbery and deeply affected the local community, which held vigils and memorials at the store to honor him.

The DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office investigated the killing. On May 20, 2021, authorities arrested Reginald Reynard Roberts of Lakeland and charged him with first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and robbery with a firearm. Investigators cited surveillance footage and witness statements as part of the evidence against Roberts.

Ahmed is remembered by customers and neighbors as a kind, dedicated small-business owner. Does anyone who knew Saleh or who was in the area that afternoon have information that could help clarify what happened?
