Abdul Jalloh, a 23-year-old, was fatally attacked on August 5 while unarmed in his car. Despite emergency efforts, he succumbed to a stab wound. Two suspects, Shamiah McKenzie and Codee Godfrey, were tracked by police after circling neighborhoods looking for him. They dispose of evidence shortly after the attack yet returned to the scene amid ongoing investigations. McKenzie was convicted of murder, while Godfrey was found guilty of manslaughter. Following the case, Detective Chief Inspector Paul Waller emphasized the community's loss and the tragic consequences of knife violence.
"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Abdul Jalloh, who lost a loved one in shocking circumstances. By carrying and using a knife, McKenzie's callous act demonstrates once again the devastating and far-reaching effects of knife crime."
"The pair packed their bloody clothing and footwear into bags and discarded them in bushes, displaying a disturbing level of confidence as they walked past officers searching for them."
