Report: Police Identify Suspect in Muslim Killings as Fellow Muslim

Police have identified the man arrested in two of a string of killings of Muslim men in the past year — another Muslim.

Muhammad Syed, 51, has reportedly been charged with murder in the deaths of two Muslim men in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

According to local Muslim leaders cited in multiple news outlets, the killings are believed to be motivated by inter-Islam sectarian conflict.

Ahmad Assed, the president of the Islamic Center of New Mexico, told the New York Times that authorities had informed him that the suspect was a Sunni, and was enraged over his daughter marrying a Shiite.

“The offender knew the victims to some extent, and an interpersonal conflict may have led to the shootings,” police wrote in a press release cited by the Daily Beast. (Read more from “Report: Police Identify Suspect in Muslim Killings as Fellow Muslim” HERE)
