A 16-year-old boy stabbed his father to death at his family’s store, cleaned up his tracks and went to school, Indiana investigators say.

Fort Wayne police found 52-year-old Tawfika Al-Malahi dead — his torso, neck and head covered in wounds — at his convenience store, on the morning of Feb. 7, according to Allen County court documents. Someone stabbed him 45 times, cut his throat and bludgeoned his head, with some of the damage having been done after he was dead.

The camera surveillance system was unplugged from its recording device and the cash register opened, as if the store had been robbed, documents said. These were attempts to stage the scene, detectives would later learn.

When investigators spoke with Al-Malahi’s son, he told them he had been at school since 8 a.m., documents said. But a look at Northrop High School’s attendance records showed the teen didn’t arrive until 11:40 a.m.

While no video was captured inside the store itself, investigators rounded up footage from a city bus and an elementary school that allowed them to track the teen’s movements, according to investigators.

Video taken outside the elementary school showed the teen riding a bike up to a dumpster around 11 a.m. and tossing in a garbage bag, documents said. Inside the bag, detectives found the missing DVR for the store’s camera system, two knives, clothes, plastic gloves, an empty bottle of bleach, and “a metal device” with bits of skin and hair sticking to it.

Sitting in an interview room with police, Al-Malahi’s son said he killed him, according to court documents.

The night prior to the killing, he left a door to the store unlocked, allowing him to slip in unnoticed in the morning before his father, documents said.

He hid behind a table and waited, he told detectives. When Al-Malahi arrived, he walked right past his son having no idea he was there until an arm reached out from behind and pulled him backward, while another plunged a knife into his back again and again, according to court documents.

It was his mother’s knife, the teen told investigators.

Next he battered his dad’s head with a piece of metal, documents read. The man fell to the floor, facing up, and his son drove the knife into his chest several times more before cutting his throat.

Then he went about cleaning the scene and getting rid of what evidence he could, documents read. He also took the money out of the cash register to make it look like a robbery.

Police charged the teen with murder and he was taken to the Allen County Juvenile Center. No motive was provided for the killing in court documents.

Ahmed Al-Malahi Other News

Police have charged a 16-year-old boy as an adult with murder in the stabbing death of his father at a southeast Fort Wayne convenience store last week.

According to court documents, Ahmed Al-Malahi was taken to Allen County Juvenile Center after confessing to detectives what happened the morning of Feb. 7.

Fort Wayne Police found a man dead at the One Stop Store on Creighton Avenue just before 5 p.m. on Feb. 7. That man was later identified as 52-year-old Tawfika Al-Malahi.

When police initially spoke to Ahmed Al-Malahi the night of his father’s death, he said he went to school at 8 a.m. that morning and was not at the store. According to court documents, police believe he was “openly deceitful” about where he was at the time of the murder.

But on Feb. 8, detectives brought him in for an interview and his story changed.

Ahmed Al-Malahi eventually told detectives he had closed his father’s store the night of Feb. 6 and left the door unlocked “so that he could get inside to do this to his father the next day,” according to court documents.

Ahmed Al-Malahi said he walked back to the store Feb. 7 and hid behind a small table to wait for his father. Ahmed Al-Malahi said when his father came in around 9 a.m., he stood up and grabbed him, stabbing him in the back with a knife multiple times. He said he got the knife at home and it belonged to his mother.

Ahmed Al-Malahi went on to say he used a piece of metal to hit his father in the back of the head. When his father fell to the ground, Ahmed Al-Malahi stabbed him again multiple times before cutting his throat with the knife.

The coroner reported Tawfika Al-Malahi had about 45 stab wounds, as well as a deep laceration on his neck and a large skull fracture that both appeared to be inflicted after he was already dead.

Ivey Lewis More News

A 25-year-old woman was charged with murder after her 3-year-old son was found dead and “cold to the touch” inside an apartment in Tacoma Sunday evening.

The Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Ivey Lewis, 25, with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder on Tuesday. Lewis pleaded not guilty to the charges in Pierce County Superior Court Tuesday afternoon. A judge set bail at $2 million and said Lewis cannot have any contact with her surviving 1-year-old child.

Ivey Lewis is currently in custody while pregnant with her third child.

According to the Tacoma Police Department (TPD), officers responded to an apartment complex on the 3200 block of South Mason Avenue around 7:35 p.m. Sunday for a welfare check after receiving a report of an unresponsive child in the home.

Court documents show a man who was a friend of Lewis’ called 911 after going to the apartment after the Super Bowl to “hang out.” The man told officers that Lewis said she thought something was wrong with her son.

The 911 caller said the 3-year-old was on the bedroom floor wrapped in a blanket and that the child was “not responsive and appeared cold to the touch.” The man then told Lewis to call 911 and ran to a nearby store to call 911 himself, documents say.

Responding officers were told by Ivey Lewis that her 3-year-old son was unresponsive in the bedroom. TPD officers located the 3-year-old inside the bedroom lying on his back on the bed. Lewis’ 1-year-old child was also in the room sitting on the bed next to the 3-year-old’s body, according to court documents.

TPD officers attempted to give the toddler CPR, but “it was quickly obvious” that the child was dead and could not be revived. Court documents say the 3-year-old was “very stiff,” and that “there was no pulse.” The Tacoma Fire Department declared the boy dead at the scene just before 8 p.m.

While attempting to treat the 3-year-old, officers noted there were multiple bruises on the child’s face that “appeared to be fresh.” Court documents say the child’s face was also discolored and that there were “obvious burn marks” and cuts on his face.

Officers also observed other injuries to the child, including “small scabs to his midsection,” trauma to the front of the child’s head and swelling above the eyebrow.

Other marks on the child’s body “appeared consistent with being struck with an object.” There were multiple similar injuries of different colors and shades, documents say, “indicating the injuries were likely inflicted at different times.”

Court documents show there were also injuries to the boy’s chest, sides, arms and legs that were “consistent with being struck with an object.” Several small marks on the child’s chest also “appeared to coincide with an electronic shock device (taser) located on the kitchen table,” according to court documents.

Ivey Lewis told TPD officers that her son had run into the wall “multiple times” and hit his head recently and that “he did that regularly.” According to court documents, Lewis told police her son had been sleeping next to the living room heater when she found that he was unresponsive. Lewis said she then picked her son up and moved him into the bedroom before the officers arrived.

TPD officers noted in court documents that the living room heater was “on maximum” when they arrived at the apartment and that “the apartment was so hot that one of the officers reported that it was difficult to breathe inside.”

Responding officers also noted in court documents that the living area and apartment’s kitchen were both dirty and “did not appear to be well kept.”

KOMO News spoke to some of Lewis’ neighbors, who were surprised to hear about the allegations, given how she spoke about her kids.

“She talked about them like they were her everything,” one neighbor, who wanted to remain anonymous, said, “It was very surprising – it was sad more than anything.”

“To know that she loves her kids, she talks about her kids, she cares about her kids, everything she was doing was for her kids,” the neighbor shared, “It seems crazy she would be accused of such a thing, and her kids were the world to her.”

During an interview, Ivey Lewis told investigators that she was under supervision by Child Protective Services. Court documents say that the 3-year-old had been in foster care from when he was about 10 months old until about six months before his death.

Ivey Lewis denied using narcotics other than marijuana, but later admitted to using methamphetamine several days before the 3-year-old was found unresponsive, court documents say.

Court documents show Lewis’ 1-year-old child that was also at the apartment was taken to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital for a medical evaluation. Medical staff said the child had methamphetamine in his system.

“The state has filed an aggravated factor of deliberate cruelty due to the number, type and severity of the victim’s injuries,” a Pierce County prosecutor said in court Tuesday, “These injuries show the defendant is a danger to others, particularly her surviving 1-year old child who likely had methamphetamine in his system at the time. “

Court documents say the state will “likely file an additional charge” against Ivey Lewis once the state confirms the 1-year-old had methamphetamine in his system.
