Iyaz Ahmed, 22, was shot dead during his overnight shift at a BP gas station on Hampton Avenue in Saint-Louis in the early morning hours of a Tuesday in July 2023. Surveillance footage indicates the incident began when Ahmed noticed multiple people attempting to break into his car, which was parked at a pump; he is believed to have gone outside to confront them and was shot in the head. First responders transported him to a nearby hospital around 3:30 a.m., but he did not survive.

The St. Louis police investigation remains active and investigators are searching for three suspects. A 19-year-old was briefly identified as a person of interest early on but was later cleared. No arrests have been announced. Ahmed had immigrated from Bangladesh as a teenager after his father’s death, was studying computer science at a local community college, and worked nights as a clerk while hoping to own his own business; his family recalls him as kind, calm, and supportive.

Did anyone who lived, worked, or drove along Hampton Avenue that July morning see or hear anything that could help investigators locate the suspects?
