Baker Farhat was 35 and working as a gas station clerk in Chicago’s East Garfield Park when he was shot and killed during an armed robbery on July 27, 2012. According to reports, an unknown assailant entered the station, demanded cash and shot Baker, who died at the scene. He had been supporting his family by sending money home, and colleagues and neighbors remembered him as a kind, hardworking man.

The shooting happened during a violent year for the city, when homicides were particularly high. Police responded but the suspect fled and, with few witnesses and limited leads, the case remains unsolved. Anyone who knew Baker or has information about that robbery is asked to come forward.
