Deportation proceedings are underway in Canada for 16-year-old Nashville murder suspect Nasser Mohammed Muhsin, who is wanted for last November’s shooting death of Omid Market owner Ebadolla Ghorbani during a robbery of the 106 Rains Avenue store.
Muhsin, who is named in a Juvenile Court arrest order charging criminal homicide, especially aggravated robbery, and unlawful gun possession, surrendered to authorities in Edmonton, Alberta, earlier this week. Extensive efforts to locate Muhsin, which included featuring him on billboards provided by Lamar Outdoor Advertising, had been underway since he was identified as a suspect in the case in early May.
Ghorbani, who was working in the market with his 46-year-old wife and 26-year-old son, saw two masked suspects as they were about to enter the building and attempted to shut the door. He was unsuccessful. One suspect, alleged to have been Muhsin, held a pistol on the victims while his partner, alleged to have been Timothy Jamal Ward, took money from the cash register. As the suspects attempted to flee, the gunman ran out of the store first. Ghorbani immediately shut the door and held it closed while his son jumped the second suspect who was still inside. As the son and the second suspect fought, the gunman tried to reenter the market. He pushed the door open slightly, reached inside and began hitting Ghorbani on the head with the pistol. Ghorbani eventually relented, and the gunman reentered. Almost immediately upon coming back inside, the gunman fired one shot at Ghorbani at very close range.
Ward was arrested May 19.
Muhsin’s return to Nashville is expected in the near future, although a firm date has not been determined.
