Ayaz Mohsin Abdullah, known to friends as Ayoo, was a 19-year-old Asian male described as smart, caring and helpful. He was shot and killed in Arlington, Texas, after gunfire erupted in the parking lot of a QuikTrip on S. Cooper Street just after 10 p.m. on April 26, 2025. A 20-year-old man, Omed Abdal, was also shot that night and died in the emergency room; a third 19-year-old sustained a gunshot wound to his foot and was treated and released.

Police detained several people who remained at the scene, and witnesses identified a person they said had retrieved a firearm from a vehicle and opened fire. A 17-year-old was arrested and charged in connection with the shooting, facing capital murder counts for the deaths of Ayaz Abdullah and Omed Abdal and an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge for the injured victim; bonds were set for the charges.

Who knew Ayaz or was at the QuikTrip that night and can help fill in what happened before the shooting?
