Enud Al-Tawakuly was 18 and a Palm Bay, Florida resident when he was shot and killed on April 23, 1987, as he exited a Publix at the Palm Bay Center. The attack was part of a larger shooting spree carried out that day by 59-year-old William Bryan Cruse, who began by shooting at neighbors, then drove to the shopping center and opened fire on shoppers. Enud and his friend Nabil Al-Hameli were among the first victims killed; a companion, Faisel Al-Mutairi, was wounded.

Cruse continued through the center, killing several more people including Ruth Greene and two responding officers, Ronald Grogan and Gerald Johnson, and injuring others before a standoff ended with his arrest. Cruse was later charged with six counts of first-degree murder. Memorials to the victims, including Enud, were established and the event prompted local conversations about gun policy and mental health.

Did anyone who knew Enud or was at the Palm Bay Center that day see him or his companions as they left the store?
