Ghassan K. Abuujeries, 34, of Oak Lawn, Illinois, was fatally shot on July 6, 2016, during a morning robbery at a Shell gas station in Summit-Argo. He was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood and pronounced dead later that day; the Cook County medical examiner confirmed his identity and cause of death.

Authorities say the shooting was part of a crime spree that began with a carjacking on Chicago’s South Side earlier that morning. Two suspects — described as a white or Hispanic male and a black male — allegedly stole a silver Pontiac Grand Prix after shooting a 27-year-old man during the carjacking. That vehicle was then used in multiple armed robberies, including the one where Abuujeries was killed. A 15-year-old boy was charged in connection with the carjacking and related crimes, and 19-year-old Manuel Gama was charged with first-degree murder in the killing; Gama was arrested after a standoff and held without bail.

Abuujeries was remembered as a dedicated worker at the gas station and the adjoining liquor store. Does anyone have information about his last shift or the morning of July 6 that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
