Ahmad Nesserdine, 28, of Dearborn Heights was found fatally shot in the head on the back porch of a home on Olmstead Street in Dearborn in the early hours of July 6, 2023. Police were called at about 12:55 a.m.; the initial 911 call came from the homeowner’s son, who reported his father had shot an intruder.

Nesserdine had sought dental work from the homeowner, 53-year-old Zayed Albodour, who was operating an illegal dental clinic in the house’s basement. Nesserdine paid about $100 for a root canal and veneers, then experienced persistent pain and had contacted Albodour about it. Family members say Albodour instructed Nesserdine to come to the home around midnight, and a dispute over the painful dental work is believed to have escalated into the shooting; family members also say Nesserdine may have threatened to expose the illicit practice. Investigators found the men had exchanged texts and calls before the encounter.

An arrest was made in connection with the shooting. Does anyone have information about Nesserdine’s movements or contacts in Dearborn around July 5–6, 2023?
