Kamal Awwad, a 42-year-old male of Middle Eastern descent, was shot and killed on December 24, 2016, at Al’s Market in Toledo, Ohio. He worked at the convenience store and was found with at least one gunshot wound after a robbery alarm was activated around 9:00 p.m. Officers responding to the scene discovered him injured; investigators concluded the killing was likely tied to a robbery.

Toledo police report that despite extensive efforts the case remains unsolved and no arrests have been made. The store was burglarized shortly after the murder, but police believe that break-in was not related to Awwad’s death. Family, friends, and the community have urged anyone with information to come forward.
