Late on the night of June 3, 2017, Mike Mulwa Ngangi, 29, was shot during an apparent robbery at the Citgo gas station on Parkway East in Birmingham, Alabama, that he owned and where he worked. He was taken to UAB Hospital for surgery but died in the early morning hours from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Ngangi lived in Acworth, Georgia, commuted to Birmingham to manage the business, and left behind a wife who was eight months pregnant with their third child.

Ngangi was described by members of the Kenyan-American community as a kind, ambitious man who also ran a clothing line. Hundreds attended a memorial service in Cobb County, Georgia. Birmingham police announced an arrest days after the shooting: an 18-year-old, Chandler Bryant, was taken into custody and charged with capital murder. Investigators said a witness reported Bryant admitted to the robbery and shooting, Bryant later confessed to the lead detective, and a .22-caliber revolver believed to be the murder weapon was recovered from Bryant’s home.

The case was sent to a grand jury in September 2017 for possible indictment. If anyone knew Mike, his routines, or saw activity around the Parkway East Citgo that night, please share what was seen or heard.
