Ahmad’s boyfriend, Kadeem Bailey, confirmed Saturday that he was present on the night of the shooting but declined further comment.
The shooting took place on the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, the Day of Sacrifice. While Bailey confirmed that Ahmad was Muslim, police said this week there is no evidence to suggest the shooting was a hate crime.
