Police say this case has been difficult to solve due to limited information. MPD is asking anyone who was in the area on the night of the murder, or anyone who saw or heard anything unusual, to come forward.

“Even the smallest piece of information may help bring closure to Malik’s family and hold those responsible accountable,” police wrote in a Facebook post.
