Shihab Mahmud was 22 when he was shot and killed on May 30, 2014, while working the night shift as a clerk at a Chevron in the Wellington Town Square shopping mall. Mahmud had moved to the United States in 2013 to study computer science at Palm Beach State College and worked nights to support himself.

Surveillance showed a masked robber enter the store brandishing two firearms; Mahmud raised his hands in surrender and was shot in the chest, dying instantly. Investigators recovered burnt clothing the next day near the home of the suspect’s girlfriend about half a mile from the station, including a hat seen on the video. A K-9 unit traced scent back to the Chevron and DNA on the burned items tied the suspect to the scene.

The suspect, identified as Lajayvian Daniels, was charged with first-degree murder with a firearm and robbery with a firearm; a jury found him guilty and he received life without parole. Does anyone have information about Mahmud’s life in Wellington or memories of him at the college or workplace?
