The father of two Parkland school shooting survivors is shot and killed during a robbery
Source: CNN
A shooting in February scarred Elama Ali. Another this month took her father's life.
When an armed teen burst into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, moving through the school and mowing down students and teachers, Elama took cover. Seventeen people were killed, but she -- and her brother -- survived the Valentine's Day massacre in Parkland, Florida.
***
This week, the violence that turned Elama and her friends into activists for gun reform visited again. And this time, it claimed her father.
Ayub Ali was shot and killed Tuesday in a robbery at his convenience store.
Ayub Ali was 61 when he died. He came to the United States from Bangladesh in the late 1990s, and moved to Parkland just last year -- the same year it was named Florida's safest city.
***
"The reason we moved to Parkland was because he liked the school," Elama told CNN on Friday. "I didn't want to move here. But he told us, 'We are only moving because the school is amazing.'"
Ali was the owner of Aunt Molly's Food Store, tucked in between several other shops in North Lauderdale -- about 10 miles from his house.
Tuesday afternoon, a man entered the store, held Ali at gunpoint, took money from the cash register and left. But shortly afterward, deputies say, the gunman returned and fatally shot him.

1. This sounds like a premeditated murder, hate crime

5. Premeditated, sure.
But it might just be witness elimination. Forming any kind of opinion would depend on knowing more than I'm willing to read at present.

9. That crossed my mind. The hatred that's been unleashed in the country...
is at a level I've not seen before.

14. During the 70s and 80s it was common to execute the clerks and even the customers in what seemed to
be hate crimes, that was what led many stores and clerks to choose to shoot it out rather than to be marched into the cooler.

22. The killer is calm and relaxed in the video
Even left then returned to the scene of the robbery to kill Mr. Ali.

23. It was the leaving and thinking about it that tells me that he just wanted to murder the man.

25. I agree with you
Looks like Mr. Ali did everything to keep the situation calm, he complied, and yet he was still murdered. Curious that the murderer made no effort to conceal himself.

28. The robber wore no mask, he was eliminating a witness
People on drugs aren't known for their criminal brilliance, considering he was already on video.

17. There is a mother, Fahana
From the CNN article linked in the OP:
That's what has Ali's wife, Farhana, inconsolable.
"If you came for the money, take the money and go," she said. "Why did you have to kill my husband?"

19. This is what I found when I did a google search.
"On Friday, the students, their two younger siblings and their mother, Farhana, will stand by the grave of Mr. Ali, a 61-year-old grocery store owner who was shot dead in a robbery in North Lauderdale this week. Members of the area’s Bangladeshi community will say prayers. His coffin will be lowered into the ground."
My heart goes out to the family. To lose a father to gun violence after two of their children survived the Parkland Valentine Day Massacre is simply horrible. May people in their community reach out to them to provide the comfort they are going to need.
Sympathy to the family.
