On June 13, 2024, at about 11 p.m., 41-year-old security guard Abakr Mohamed Amin was fatally shot while on duty at the CVS in the Fremont Hub Shopping Center at Mowry Avenue and Fremont Boulevard in Fremont, California. Amin, a Sacramento resident, had been employed at that store for less than two weeks and was due to transfer to another location soon.

The incident began when a male customer entered carrying a large backpack. Amin approached the customer and a verbal altercation followed; witnesses reported both men exchanged racial remarks and profanities. The confrontation became violent—Amin was shot at least once and the customer suffered multiple stab wounds, including to his neck. Emergency responders pronounced Amin dead at the scene; the wounded customer was taken to a local trauma center.
