On the evening of October 24, 2020, 17-year-old Nawar Dior Jabbar was found inside a vehicle in the parking lot of a Wendy’s on Park Avenue in Worcester, Massachusetts, having suffered a fatal gunshot wound. Emergency services arrived after reports of gunfire around 8:36 p.m., but Jabbar was pronounced deceased at the scene. Friends and family described him as kind and diligent; he was enrolled in classes at Quinsigamond Community College and had future plans.

In November 2020 Worcester Police arrested two suspects. Prosecutors say 18-year-old Messiah Amankwa shot Jabbar while both were seated in an SUV in the restaurant parking lot, and that Amankwa fled the scene in a vehicle driven by 23-year-old Diomar Lopez Carrasco. A Worcester County grand jury returned indictments in March 2021: Amankwa on murder and carrying a firearm without a license, and Carrasco for being an accessory after the fact to murder.

Does anyone have information about Jabbar’s movements that evening or who saw the SUV in the Park Avenue Wendy’s parking lot?
