Khogaly Mozzaffar, 42, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of March 15, 2022, at a Sunoco gas station on Ballenger Highway in Flint, Michigan. The shooting ended Mozzaffar’s life at the scene and prompted a criminal investigation.

Authorities arrested 25-year-old Markquail Jackson and charged him with open murder and carrying a firearm while committing a felony. The case went to trial in January 2023 but the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict, resulting in a mistrial. Prosecutors retried the case beginning in April 2025, and after the second trial the jury found Jackson not guilty of all charges. Jackson was released following the acquittal.

The circumstances of the altercation that led to Mozzaffar’s shooting and key unanswered questions about what happened at the station remain central to the case. Did anyone witness the confrontation that night or have information about events at the Sunoco on Ballenger Highway?
