Nader Aweidah, a 46-year-old Miami business owner, was fatally shot on June 6, 2023, inside the Perfect Auto Paint & Body Shop in the area of Northwest Seventh Avenue and 75th Street in Liberty City. An arrest warrant describes a man identified as Ferris Phillips II, 38, entering Aweidah’s office shortly before 11 a.m., sitting until another witness left, then leaving and returning before immediately opening fire. Aweidah was struck multiple times.

A witness who had remained nearby saw the shooter run outside after the shooting and later identified Phillips in a photo lineup. Phillips turned himself in to Fort Lauderdale police the night of the homicide and was transferred to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a first-degree murder charge; a statement he gave to officers was redacted in the released report. The warrant did not state a motive.

Employees described Aweidah as generous and community-minded; he owned the body shop and Bubba’s Supermarket. Does anyone have information about Aweidah’s movements that morning or saw activity around the shop that could help clarify what happened?
