Late on the night of September 10, 2017, 20-year-old accountant Rizanul Islam and his employer, 36-year-old Saiful Bhuyia, had just closed Southern Grocery in Atlanta and were sitting in Bhuyia’s vehicle when a white car with its headlights off pulled up beside them. Three men were inside; one, later identified as 21-year-old Jousha Routh, approached the driver’s side demanding money. Bhuyia accelerated to flee and Routh fired a .40 caliber handgun into the car. Bhuyia was struck in the upper back and neck and died at the scene. Islam was shot in the head, taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, and died a few days later.

Investigators recovered Routh’s palm print on Bhuyia’s car and phone records placed him at the scene. The FBI arrested Routh in Ellenwood in December 2017. Subsequent court proceedings resulted in convictions for felony murder, attempted armed robbery, aggravated assault, criminal damage to property, and possession of a firearm during a felony, with a sentence of two consecutive life terms plus 35 years. Reports say Routh had two accomplices that night, but their identities and status have not been provided.

Did anyone in the Atlanta area know Rizanul, Saiful, or the store and have information about the night of September 10, 2017?
