A Michigan man who was allegedly operating an illegal dental office in the basement of a home was charged with murder after reportedly killing a 28-year-old man during a dispute over dental work, according to a story published on July 10 in Detroit’s Local 4 news.
On July 9, Zayed Albodour was charged with homicide -- murder first degree-premeditated and using a firearm during the commission of a felony -- for purportedly fatally shooting Ahmad Nesserdine after midnight on July 6. When police arrived, Nesserdine was dead of a gunshot wound to the head, according to the story.
Nesserdine’s family said Nesserdine went to the illicit basement dental office to save money on a root canal but had been in constant pain since Albodour, who claimed to be a dentist, reportedly worked on his teeth.
The victim’s sister said her brother went to Albodour’s home after he was purportedly told to come there at midnight on July 6. Additionally, she told the news outlet that the dispute likely turned deadly after Nesserdine threatened to expose Albodour’s illegal dental clinic if his teeth weren’t fixed or he was given medicine, according to the report. Albodour, 52, is being held in jail without bond.
