Sam's Market Murder

On the evening of Wednesday, August 24 at 12;40 a.m., Habeed Hafeed was murdered outside of Sam's Market in Richmond's East end. Yesterday evening, friends and family gathered outside the store to honor the 30 year-old convienance store owner and father of two young boys. Police are saying they don't believe robbery was a motive. People in the crowd seemed dumbfounded that anyone would want to hurt the man the affectionately knew as Sam. Mufeed Hafeed, the victim's brother from Arkansas, said owning the store was his brother's dream and that he often worked 14-16 hours a day. He was also saying money to go back to Yemen to see his mother. On July 30, Michael A. Minor was murdered outside the Black Tie Social Club just down the street from Sam's Market.
