Kamel Albes, a 52-year-old Iraqi-American and owner of a tire shop on South Third Street in Memphis, was shot multiple times and killed on December 6, 2018. He was taken to Regional One Hospital in extremely critical condition and later died. Another employee, Marcus Anderson, was also killed in the same incident.

Police arrested former employee Rickey Hull Jr. and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder. Authorities say Hull was found about six miles east of the shop with a rifle and clothing stained with blood that matched surveillance footage from the scene; witness statements and that footage were cited in the arrest. Motive has not been established.

Albes had emigrated from Baghdad decades earlier, helped found a local Islamic Center, and was described by friends and family as charitable and community-minded. Does anyone have information about Albes, Marcus Anderson, or the events at the tire shop that night?
