Bassam H. Naoum, 59, was shot and killed inside his Near North Side convenience store, Munchies Market, in Chicago on October 16, 2010. Known to many as Ollie, he was described as a generous, friendly presence in the neighborhood and the store’s owner. Bassam was shot multiple times and died shortly after; there were no obvious signs of robbery, and investigators reported that a motive was unclear.

His death prompted vigils and memorials that drew hundreds of residents, and the community held events including street dedications to honor him. The murder remains unsolved, with no significant leads reported and the family still seeking answers.

If anyone knew Bassam, worked at or shopped at Munchies Market, or remembers anything about that evening, please come forward with information.
