Ahmad Malik Kadir, a 21-year-old African American male, was tragically shot in the early morning hours of June 6, 2020, on Neuhoff Lane in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was celebrating a new job with friends when he became the victim of a drive-by shooting. Ahmad was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries and despite the medical team's efforts, he succumbed to his injuries on June 9, 2020.
His death has been classified as a homicide.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has been actively investigating Ahmad's murder. However, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been identified. The lack of forensic evidence has made the case particularly challenging for investigators. Ahmad's family and friends have been deeply affected by his untimely death and have been working tirelessly to seek justice. They have raised reward money in hopes of encouraging anyone with information to come forward and assist in solving the case.
Ahmad was a hardworking and spiritual young man who was passionate about his career as a truck driver. He was loved by his family and friends, who described him as the "heartbeat of the house." His parents, Evelyn and Sulayman Kadir, have been vocal about their desire for justice and closure. They have been working with Crime Stoppers and have raised a reward of $5,000, which they hope to increase to $10,000, for information leading to an arrest.
The Kadirs have faced numerous challenges in the aftermath of Ahmad's death, including delays in receiving life insurance payouts due to the ongoing investigation. Despite these obstacles, they remain determined to find the person responsible for their son's murder and bring them to justice. The community has rallied around the family, offering support and sharing information in hopes of solving the case.
Ahmad's death has left a lasting impact on those who knew him, and his family continues to pray for justice. They hope that someone with information about the shooting will come forward and help bring closure to this tragic chapter in their lives. The CMPD encourages anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers or speak directly with homicide detectives.
