The father of two young daughters was shot dead over a parking dispute in Texas last weekend, according to authorities.
Abdul Rahman Waziri was an Afghan refugee who supported American special forces in his own country, fighting the Taliban for many years.
The 31-year-old was reportedly killed in the parking lot of his apartment complex after his neighbor allegedly shot him multiple times at around 9.15pm.
His brother, Abdulla, shared with local news: “He came here to be safe, and here, when he came, this happened to him,”.
The gunman confessed to shooting the man after an argument “over parking”, Houston police have shared.
Yet, he was let free without being charged, according to police.
His family have shared: “We believe this was a public execution. There’s no other way to call it,” their attorney Omar Khawaja, said.
Waziri had pulled up to check his mail at the apartment mailboxes when the gunman became annoyed about where he had parked, according to reports.
Witnesses claim they say the suspect vandalizing the victim’s car before a fight broke out.
After the fight was over, the gunman pulled out the gun and fatally show Waziri multiple times, according to police.
“After the altercation is already over and Mr. Waziri is walking back to his car, the shooter grabs a gun and murders him. He executes him in cold blood,” the lawyer shared.
He was then rushed to hospital but sadly did not make it.
“As officers were investigating the shooting, they were approached by a male who stated he was the shooter and explained he and the deceased male were arguing over parking,” police said.
“After serving bravely, Abdul Rahman came to the United States seeking a better and safer life for himself and his family,” the campaign raising funds to send his body back to Afghanistan, states. “Tragically, his life was cut short when he was killed without reason.”
