Man in US killed in suspected 'anti-Muslim hate crime'
Arab communities in the United States are in shock after a Lebanese-American man was shot and killed by a neighbour that had allegedly used violence and racial slurs against the family for years.
The family's neighbour, 61-year-old Stanley Vernon Majors, was arrested and he is expected to be charged with first-degree murder later this week, Tulsa police said in a press release.
Majors was awaiting trial for aggravated assault after allegedly hitting Jabara's mother, Haifa, with his car last September, which caused her numerous injuries. He was released on bond in May.
"Only 30 minutes prior to my brother's shooting, Khalid called the police stating this man had a gun and that he was scared for what might happen. The police came and told him there was nothing to be done," the family’s statement said.
