Mohammed Abdus-Salaam, 42, was shot and killed on the night of October 7, 2020, outside his Atlanta home on the 1000 block of Camilla Street SW. He was unloading groceries from his car when four men in a dark-colored sedan, possibly a Nissan or a Kia, approached. At least one of the men, all reported to be wearing hooded sweatshirts, exited the vehicle and opened fire, striking Abdus-Salaam multiple times in the back. The assailants reportedly searched his vehicle and fled without taking the car.

A devout Muslim, husband and father of two young daughters, Abdus-Salaam was known for charitable work including cookouts to feed people experiencing homelessness. No public announcement of arrests has been made and the four suspects remain unidentified. The family questioned why a nearby police security camera wasn’t positioned to capture clearer images; a reward was offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone saw activity on Camilla Street SW the night of October 7, 2020, or has information about the dark-colored sedan or the men involved, please come forward.
