Zakeria Hussein was 21 when he was shot and killed on December 7, 2015, while working the late shift at his family’s Premium New York Style Pizza in Akron, Ohio. The shooting occurred around 11 p.m. after a masked gunman entered the shop and demanded money; Hussein complied but was still fatally shot. Surveillance footage captured the masked robber, and police received community tips as they investigated.

Hussein was a junior at the University of Akron studying international business and an active member of the Muslim Students Association. Friends and family remembered him as kind, hard-working, spiritual, and consistently positive despite life’s struggles. The case drew attention to safety at small businesses and the role of community cooperation in investigations.

If anyone knew Zakeria, worked at that pizza shop, or has information about the night of December 7, 2015, what can be shared with investigators?
