Abdullah Arif, 48, of Stillwater was shot to death outside Union Tabacco shop on the 500 block of Stryker Ave around 3:30 p.m on 16 February. Arif is the father of 3.
Today Elias-Kareem Hany Aly, 21 was charged with two counts of second-degree murder.
Three men entered the smoke shop and they were asked to remove their face coverings because of an ongoing issue with theft. The men then argued with staff, with one of them reportedly saying, “You don’t know this, but I’m about that life.”
Aly was wearing the same blue flannel shirt at the store that he was seen wearing at the courthouse. Aly walked out of the store, he reached up and pulled down a green chime that contained a Ring camera off the door, then went and sat in the Durango. The men who entered with Aly reportedly told Arif that he didn’t know them and to watch his tone. Arif then picked up a baseball bat and walked out with another employee to get the chime back, and that’s when Arif was shot. Arid never lifted the bat.
Aly was arrested the next day in a traffic stop outside an apartment building on Grove Ave. The Durango was found in an underground parking garage. The person who was with Aly at the time of the shooting was arrested and questioned by police, who reportedly said that “That man didn’t have to die.”
Aly bond is $2.5m and his court appearance is 15 March 2023.
