Muhammad Syed, an Afghan refugee, was convicted of first-degree murder for killing Aftab Hussein in Albuquerque during the summer of 2022, officials say.
An Afghan refugee was found guilty Monday of first-degree murder in one of three fatal shootings that shook Albuquerque's Muslim community during the summer of 2022. Muhammad Syed faces life in prison for killing 41-year-old Aftab Hussein on July 26, 2022. He also will stand trial in the coming months in the other two slayings.
We were not able to uncover anything that we would indicate would be a motive that would explain this,' Deputy District Attorney David Waymire said outside the courthouse. 'As best we can tell, this could be a case of a serial killer where there’s a motive known only to them and not something that we can really understand.' Defense attorneys said the conviction would be appealed once the other two trials are complete. They too said a motive has yet to be uncovered.
