On 28 April 2025, Houston Police reported they were investigating a reported fatal shooting. The victim was—yet again—an Afghan refugee. According to national and local news, Abdul Rahman Waziri, an Afghan refugee who worked alongside United States Special Forces (USSF), was killed over a supposed argument over a parking spot.
Some quotes from the stories above are worth highlighting:
"We believe this was a public execution. There's no other way to call it," Omar Khawaja, an attorney representing Waziri's family, said.
According to witnesses, lawyers say they interviewed, the man started vandalizing Waziri's car, and the two men came to blows.
"After the altercation is already over and Mr. Waziri is walking back to his car, shooter grabs a gun and murders him. He executes him in cold blood," Khawaja said.
The alleged killer confessed to cops that he had shot the other man following an argument “over parking,” Houston police said.
But here is the most important part of the story:
After taking a statement from the man and speaking with the DA's Office, police released the shooter, who community leaders say is still living at the apartment complex where the shooting occurred.
