On October 27, 2016, 29-year-old Al Shami Esmail, a male store clerk of Middle Eastern descent, was shot to death during a robbery at the Shop N Go convenience store in Zebulon, North Carolina. The incident occurred around 11 p.m. when two masked, armed individuals entered the store and proceeded to rob the clerk. Esmail was shot and died at the scene; a second employee, 51-year-old Ricky Lynch, was also shot and suffered serious injuries but survived.

Surveillance footage reportedly shows two men robbing the clerk and firing shots inside the store before fleeing in a dark-colored sedan. The investigation produced multiple arrests: Darius Dontae McCalston, 28, and Omari Alexander Smith, 23, were charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, and felony conspiracy. Julien Allen, 19, was arrested and charged with the same counts as McCalston and Smith for his role as lookout and getaway driver; Grecia Montes, 20, was charged as an accessory after the fact. The community expressed shock and sadness over the loss of a friendly, pleasant clerk.

Does anyone have information about that night or remember seeing a dark-colored sedan near the Shop N Go on October 27, 2016?
