Hussein Saghir, a 36-year-old Lebanese immigrant, was shot and killed on January 19, 2014, outside Sam’s Tobacco and Food Mart in Bensenville while closing the store with his brother. He was preparing to celebrate his wife’s birthday with a family dinner that evening. Two men confronted the brothers; one produced a pistol and shot Saghir, who died minutes later. Security camera footage captured the shooting.

Saghir had emigrated from Lebanon about 13 years earlier and was remembered by family and the local community as generous and hard-working, supporting relatives in the United States and in Lebanon. The investigation led to arrests and prosecutions: Stephan A. Russell was convicted of first-degree murder and attempted armed robbery; Tremayne Davis, who stayed in the getaway vehicle, testified under a plea deal and was sentenced to eight years for attempted armed robbery with a firearm; Kenneth Bardlett pleaded guilty to aggravated battery with a firearm and received 22 years, though first-degree murder charges were later reinstated against him after issues with his testimony.

Does anyone have information about Saghir, the store, or the events that night that could shed more light on what happened?
