On April 18, 2024, Mohammed Shahzad, a 50-year-old employee at the Arco AMPM gas station on Arch Road in Stockton, California, was killed during an armed robbery. Multiple suspects entered the store around 1:30 a.m., a robbery turned into a physical altercation, and Shahzad was shot in the torso. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Shahzad had worked at the gas station for a decade and was remembered by customers and friends for his dedication, kindness and generosity. A GoFundMe was started to support his wife and five children, all under the age of twelve, and the community described the family as facing severe financial hardship after his death.

Stockton Police launched an investigation and arrests were later announced in connection with the case. If anyone knew Shahzad, worked with him, or has information about the robbery, please come forward.
