Shazim Uppal was 27 when he was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds in a black Audi in a parking lot near a Genesis HealthCare facility in Hockessin, Delaware. He had last been seen driving his 2007 black Audi A8 in Pike Creek between about 10:00 and 11:00 p.m. on August 23, 2015, and his body was discovered the next evening in the 100 block of St. Claire Drive.

Detectives recovered a substantial quantity of marijuana in the vehicle and developed Benjamin Rauf of Westerlo, New York, as a suspect; both men had graduated from Temple University’s Beasley School of Law in 2015. Police alleged an arranged drug transaction and attempted robbery led to Uppal’s shooting. Rauf was arrested in New York on September 14, 2015, later indicted on two counts of first-degree murder and related charges, and ultimately pleaded guilty to manslaughter and a firearms offense in February 2019, receiving a 15-year prison term followed by home confinement or work release and probation.

Did anyone in the Temple community or the Pike Creek area know Uppal’s movements that night or the people he was meeting?
