Watch The Story
Louisville Metro Police are extremely tight-lipped about this ongoing investigation, but they do confirm that one person has been charged and they are looking for others involved.
Police said on Nov. 24, two men entered the New York Fashions store on Lytle Street and demanded cash. Witnesses said the two men took wallets and one shot Abdelrahman as they fled the store.
Police don't believe Abdelrahman provoked the shooting.
"It did take some luck," said Lt. Barry Wilkerson of Metro Police. "The beat officers did an excellent job of patrolling that area."
The arrest brought a sense of relief to the victim’s family but they said they know their journey to justice is far from over.
"We lost everything in our lives everything that was beautiful is gone," the victim's widow, Sumayaee Harun, said. "Praise Allah that there is a team of people that have been working all the time. They are working and they have not forgotten about it."
On Nov. 28 on Lytle Street, police pulled over a woman on a routine traffic stop. Alexander Ruff, 23, was a passenger in the car.
According to arrest reports, Ruff was in possession of a Glock .45 with 11 rounds that was confirmed stolen out of Philadelphia.
"Certain ballistics did match to that weapon from the homicide scene itself," Wilkerson said.
Community activist Christopher 2X said even the victim's family was surprised by how quickly the evidence came back.
Police asked 2X to tell Abdelrahman's wife about the arrest.
"Based on the information that was more or less revealed to them that the videotape wasn't that clear and nobody really had a good grasp on who might've did this," he said. "Their community is pleased because they feel the response time was pretty rapid."
Police credit community concern with speeding the process along, pointing to a vigil held for the victim and the family's repeated pleas for help.
They hope that same emotion will evoke more leads.
"We're in the process of interviewing more individuals, and hopefully more arrests will come from this," Wilkerson said.
Abdelrahman is survived by his wife and two young daughters.
"I want to thank the authorities in Louisville, Ky., metropolitan police department for their work," Fawzi Abdulrahman, the victim's brother, said.
However, Abdulrahman said that the other suspect is still loose.
"We hope we're going to follow this until the rest of the criminals have been caught and justice will be applied for them," Abdulrahman said.
For Abdulrahman's widow, thinking of what her children have lost brings the most pain.
"The most difficult thing when they wake up in the morning and her baby would ask where is daddy is he home yet is he home yet," Abdulrahman said.
