An 18-year-old Black male named Talib Ahmed, known as Kunda, was killed in a late-night shooting on November 11, 2022, in the parking lot of the 7-Eleven at 4051 S. State Street in Millcreek, Utah. Police describe the incident as gang-related after an altercation that began inside the store between two groups escalated outside around 12:30 a.m. Talib was shot four times; occupants of his Lexus took him to Intermountain Medical Center where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Investigators say a Chrysler 300 with at least three occupants, including Houssein Musse and Salman Farhan Ahmed, arrived and the three men briefly reassembled inside the store before walking to the north side of the building where the shooting occurred. Salman Ahmed was also wounded and taken to the hospital. Police found Musse and Salman Ahmed emerging from behind a fence with their hands up, and two guns and blood were later discovered under a car on a neighboring auto body shop lot.
Several arrests followed: Houssein Musse, 18, and Salman Farhan Ahmed, 19, were charged with murder, multiple counts of discharging a firearm, and obstructing justice. Joshua Harun Nena, 23, Talib’s cousin and the Lexus owner, was charged with obstruction after initially reporting the car stolen and later recanting.
Are there witnesses or local residents who saw the confrontation at the 7-Eleven that night?
