The Prince George’s County Police Department is offering up to $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the case.

According to the police department’s homicide unit, a man attacked Hanif while stealing items from the store. The suspect then fled the area on a bicycle.

When officers arrived on the scene shortly before 8 a.m., they found Hanif suffering from head trauma. He was transported to the hospital and died from his injuries on March 8.

“My dad was a great person. He cared so much about us. He was such a great person, such a humble heart. He was so nice,” Hanif’s daughter Fatema Raisa told NBC4.

Hanif moved to the United States from Bangladesh in 1999. He worked at a Subway before acquiring the business. His family said he worked long hours to provide for their family and loved helping others.

  1. I don’t go to Maryland or DC unless I absolutely have to.
    Condolences to Mr. Hanif’s family. Just trying to live the “American Dream,” whatever that means anymore. So sad.

  2. I hope this violent murderer gets captured right away. Killing an innocent man like Mohammad Hanif is indeed a capital crime; this needs to stop ASAP.

  3. He was my coworker, a very good man. Happy guy always, always nice to all. For someone to even kill him, or anyone for that matter, they need God in their mind and heart. God bless Hanif’s family
