On November 19, 2014, 29-year-old Abdullah Nagi Mahdi was killed in a midday shooting at his store, Reemas Fashions, 2608 South Avenue, Youngstown, Ohio. The exchange of gunfire began when 19-year-old Larry McDonald entered the shop around 4:30 p.m. acting suspiciously; employees who knew a store on Belmont Avenue had been robbed the day before alerted Mahdi. Mahdi confronted McDonald while armed; Mahdi was shot in the head and killed, and McDonald was hit twice in the stomach and taken to hospital before being transferred to the county jail.

McDonald was indicted on aggravated murder, murder, aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon, and was arraigned and held on $1 million bond. Mahdi, who lived most of the year in the United States to support his family in Yemen, was remembered as kind and hardworking; his funeral was held at Masjid Al-Khair in Youngstown and friends established a fund to help his family.

Does anyone have information about the moments before the shooting or who else might have seen McDonald enter the store?
