On February 11, 2016, Mohamed Barry, a 30-year-old man of Guinean descent and a U.S. permanent resident who worked in computer programming and information technology, carried out a machete attack at the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli in Gahanna, Ohio. Barry entered the restaurant, spoke with an employee, left, then returned about 30 minutes later armed with a machete and began attacking customers. Four people were injured and hospitalized, including Bill Foley, Neil McMeekin, and Debbie and Gerald Russell.

Barry fled the scene in a white Toyota Corolla and led police on a short pursuit. Officers used a PIT maneuver to stop his car; after the vehicle struck a curb, Barry emerged and lunged at officers with a machete and a filet knife, shouting Allahu Akbar. An officer shot Barry multiple times; he was killed at the scene. The FBI had investigated Barry four years earlier for making radical statements and had flagged his name in a terrorism-related database. The White House later classified the incident as a terrorist attack.

If anyone has information about Barry’s movements in Gahanna on February 11, 2016, or about the attack at the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli, please share what is known.
