USA – Irving, Texas: Amina, 18 and Sarah, 17-killed by their father, January 2008

“Oh my God, I’m dying,” were 17-year-old Sarah Said’s last words, recorded in a harrowing 911 call released by Irving Police in Texas. Yaser Abdel Said was taking his two daughters to dinner when he shot them in the back of a taxicab outside the Omni Hotel in Irving. When Amina and Sarah were younger, they told police that their father was sexually abusing them. In December 2007, their mother, Patricia, decided it was time to take her daughters and leave Said. The girls and their mother hid in Oklahoma for a few days. But, on New Year’s Eve 2007, Patricia went back to Said. Their father killed them because he believed their lifestyles were different from his. Amina was shot twice in the chest. Sarah, the younger daughter, was in the backseat and was shot nine times. Said originally from Egypt, has been detained for more than a decade.
