$5 million reward offered for information on murder of Johnson City man

The U.S. Department of State, through its Rewards For Justice program, is offering a substantial reward of up to $5 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of anyone involved in the murder of Shakeel Khan of Johnson City.

Khan's tragic murder occurred on March 30, 2019 in Johnson City, where Khan was brutally executed in front of his business, Halal Bites.

Shakeel Khan, a legal permanent resident of the United States, was known for his political activism against terrorist organizations in his home region of Swat, Pakistan. His murder sparked a thorough investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York and the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force.

To bring the perpetrators to justice, the FBI's Albany Field Office in Binghamton, New York, is working with the New York State Police and the Johnson City Police Department to solicit the public's help in identifying those responsible for Khan's murder. The U.S. Department of State's Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program has offered a substantial reward, in addition to the FBI's previous reward of up to $50,000.

Anyone with information related to Shakeel Khan's murder is asked to come forward and provide tips that could help identify and arrest those responsible. Tips can be submitted online at tips.fbi.gov or by contacting the nearest FBI office, American embassy or consulate. In addition, contact information for Rewards for Justice is available for those who wish to donate anonymously via Signal, Telegram or WhatsApp at +1-202-702-7843.

Since its inception in 1984, Rewards for Justice has played a critical role in awarding substantial rewards to over 125 individuals worldwide who have provided actionable intelligence leading to the elimination of threats to U.S. national security. The program has awarded over $250 million in rewards to date.
