Ahmad Alibrahim, 21, was shot and killed on December 12, 2023, at the Borders Drive Thru on South Arlington Street in Akron, Ohio. Alibrahim, a store clerk who had immigrated from Syria with his family, was working late when an argument broke out after a customer tried to buy a cigar with cash that reportedly had blood on it. When Alibrahim refused the transaction the dispute escalated and the customer shot him in the neck through the drive-thru window. Alibrahim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police identified 27-year-old Da’Quan Mar’Ta Isaac as the suspect and issued a warrant for his arrest. Family members described Alibrahim as caring and said he had hopes for a better life; they released statements expressing heartbreak over the senseless loss.
