On a Saturday evening in September 2016, Salman Tahir, 33, was working behind the counter at the E-Z Mart in Midwest City, Oklahoma, when a young man entered the store intent on robbery. During the confrontation Tahir was shot and killed. The Midwest City Police Department investigated and identified 17-year-old Deion Lowe-Williams as the suspect. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Tahir’s death.

The charge against Lowe-Williams was later amended to first-degree manslaughter as part of a plea agreement, and he entered a guilty plea to that amended count. Tahir is remembered by those who knew him as a kind and gentle soul. If anyone has information about Salman Tahir or the events that night, please come forward and share what you know.
