On June 5, 2023, at about 3:05 a.m., 25-year-old Anthony McNary was fatally shot at a Mobil gas station on Vernor Highway in Detroit following a dispute over a beef jerky product. Al-Gaham then locked the store’s doors and, from inside, produced a handgun and fired one shot through the glass door, striking McNary in the forehead. Officers who arrived at about 3:14 a.m. found McNary with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Al-Gaham was arrested and charged with First-Degree Murder and Felony Firearm and arraigned on June 8, 2023; his attorney said the shooting was accidental and that he meant only to scare McNary, while the judge noted Al-Gaham had been behind a locked door and could have called police. The victim’s family later filed a civil suit against ExxonMobil, the station’s parent company. Does anyone have additional details about what happened that night or knew Anthony that could shed light on the sequence of events?
