On April 27, 2016, 57-year-old convenience store clerk Nafez Jalal of Durham, North Carolina, was shot and killed during an attempted armed robbery at the Fast Food Mart on Broad Street. The robber, identified as 31-year-old Timothy Moore, entered the store with the intent to rob it and shot Jalal; another man, 48-year-old Hassan Jolale, was wounded in the leg and survived.

After the shooting Moore fled but was later identified and captured by state troopers following a high-speed chase and a short foot pursuit. He was charged with murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, felony conspiracy, and robbery with a dangerous weapon; he appeared in Granville County court where the charges were read to him.

Jalal’s family and the Durham community were deeply affected by his death. If anyone was in or near the Fast Food Mart on Broad Street on April 27, 2016, or has information about that night, please come forward.
