Hamid Lakhani, a 63-year-old store clerk from Sugar Land, Texas, was shot and killed during a robbery at the WB Food Mart on August 31, 2019, about 8:30 p.m. Police found Lakhani with a gunshot wound after a call about the robbery; EMS took him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was of South Asian descent and remembered by his community as kind and dedicated.

Investigators identified 24-year-old Treveon James Young of Houston as the primary suspect. Young was later arrested in Las Vegas under a false name while jailed on other charges, including grand theft auto, and was sentenced to 55 years in prison for Lakhani’s murder. Three other suspects were involved: 17-year-old Kameryn Lamisha James of Houston, who served as the getaway driver, confessed to a school resource officer and received a 15-year state prison sentence; and two 16-year-old juveniles charged with robbery who received 18 to 20 year sentences.

Anyone who knew Hamid, frequented the WB Food Mart that evening, or has information about the robbery and shooting is asked to come forward.
