Elahmadi Goba, 40, was shot and killed on November 13, 2012, during a robbery at the N & A Food Market in Chicago’s Gresham neighborhood. Known affectionately as Eli, Goba had worked as a clerk there for about five months. Security cameras captured two men entering the store with several others outside; despite a protective glass partition at the register, Goba was fatally shot in the chest while raising his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Originally from Yemen, he had come to the United States to earn money to send home and was remembered in the neighborhood as kind and generous, sometimes giving food to customers who could not afford it. Authorities continued searching for the suspects after the killing, which came amid a year of elevated gun violence in Chicago. If anyone knew Elahmadi Goba or has information about the robbery, please share what you know.
