Mohamoud Ibrahim, a 60-year-old store owner of Somali descent in Tampa, was shot and killed during an armed robbery at his business, the 29th Street Store, on July 16, 2017. Officers who responded to a reported robbery at 2802 N. 29th Street around 12:37 p.m. found Ibrahim dead from a gunshot wound. He was described as a well-known, respected figure in the neighborhood who acted as a friend and mentor to many.

Investigators used store surveillance footage and witness tips to identify and arrest 24-year-old Christopher Antonio Sheffield. He was found hiding in an apartment complex and charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a firearm, carrying a concealed firearm, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. The community mourned Ibrahim’s death and followed the case closely as it moved through the courts.

Did anyone in the neighborhood know Mohamoud Ibrahim’s routines or notice anything unusual at the 29th Street Store around midday on July 16, 2017?
