Wesam Sammour was 34 when he was killed while working the night shift at Jordan’s Fish & Chicken on Indianapolis’ east side. On January 3, 2017, two masked, armed men entered the restaurant in what police described as a takeover-style robbery. Surveillance video shows one assailant in a red jacket and another in a dark-colored jacket vaulting over the counter with handguns; both Sammour and his co-worker Ammar Shatnawi were shot and later found dead that night by a relative after they did not come home.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department released the surveillance footage and Crime Stoppers offered up to $2,000 for information; the victims’ families and friends raised an additional $50,000. A makeshift memorial grew outside the closed restaurant.
