Police: Pharmacy intern staged suicide to seem like murder

He worked his final shift as a pharmacy intern and never returned home. Alvin Ahmed’s family was perplexed, fearing the 25-year-old had been abducted.

More than three weeks after the recent University of Georgia graduate was reported missing, the search ended Wednesday. A body found in a small lake in Gwinnett County, Georgia, has been identified as Ahmed, and investigators said all indications are that he committed suicide. Ahmed left behind clues, including data from a cellphone app indicating he staged his disappearance to seem suspicious, according to police.
“The phone data contained a note which indicated that Mr. Ahmed staged certain elements of the case to cast suspicion that he had been murdered,” Cpl. Michele Pihera said in an emailed statement.

The same note also spelled out the details of Ahmed’s final night, including the groceries he bought and his plan to turn off his watch and phone, discard them at a nearby restaurant, Atmosphere Bar and Grill, and walk to Lake Carlton, about 2 miles from the Publix where he worked. Ahmed’s phone has not been located, his brother said late Wednesday. The two-sentence note was found in a “reminders” app and could have been typed on the phone or through a web browser, Kalvin Ahmed said.

Alvin Ahmed was last seen July 16 after leaving the Loganville grocery store where he worked as a pharmacy intern. After working his shift, Ahmed had purchased a few groceries to take to his mother, according to his family, but he never made it home. His car, with the groceries and white pharmacy coat inside, was in the grocery store parking lot.
