Adel Alex Elrafei, 57, was shot and killed at his Bull Market Convenience Store in Covington, Tennessee, on December 25, 2022. He was last seen alive about 10:00 a.m. and was found behind the store counter around 1:00 p.m.; police estimate the shooting occurred between noon and 1:00 p.m. The cash register was open and property was missing, and investigators say robbery appears to be the motive.

Elrafei was an Egyptian-American store owner known in the community for small acts of kindness such as handing out bubble gum to children and helping customers short on change. The shooting on Christmas Day deeply affected the community. There have been no arrests or named suspects, and detectives are interviewing witnesses and asking anyone who visited the store or saw suspicious activity between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to get in touch.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything at Bull Market that day that could help the investigation?
