News: Chaldean liquor store owner killed in Detroit



Detroit (Free Press) - A man was gunned down on Detroit’s west side this morning as he opened up his business, police said.

The Associated Food and Petroleum Dealers identified the man as Fred Dally, owner of the Medicine Chest on Dexter and former chairman of the organization.

According to police — who did not identify the victim — the 63-year-old man was shot at about 10 a.m. Police said two men were seen approaching the victim and shots were fired in what appears to be a robbery attempt. Police could not confirm whether anything was taken.

The AFPD is offering $50,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of those responsible, according to a news release from the organization.

“This is a sad loss for our AFPD family and the entire community,” Auday Arabo, president and CEO of the organization. “We must do something about the ongoing violence our store owners face while operating businesses in Detroit. Fred has been operating his store since the 70s when the area was bustling with business. Today, he was among the few businesses servicing the community in this area.”

No arrests have been made.

Arabo said Dally was married with children. He said Dally was well known in the community.

“He was actually probably one of the most wonderful human beings,” Arabo said. “He really believed in Detroit and he stuck in through thick and thin.”
