Ahmad Malik Kadir was 21 when he was shot in a drive-by shooting on Neuhoff Lane in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the early morning hours of June 6, 2020. He was celebrating a new job with friends and was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries; he died there on June 9, 2020. The death has been classified as a homicide.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department investigators remained actively involved but had not identified any suspects or made arrests. The case has been hampered by a lack of forensic evidence. Ahmad’s parents, Evelyn and Sulayman Kadir, and the wider community have raised reward money through Crime Stoppers — an initial $5,000 with plans to increase it — and have pushed for information as they cope with delays tied to the ongoing investigation.

Anyone who knew Ahmad or has information about the shooting is asked to contact Crime Stoppers or speak with CMPD homicide detectives.
