Jamshid Havash was 45 when he was killed on July 29, 1999, during a shooting spree at day trading offices in Atlanta. An immigrant who left Iran with his family in the 1970s, he held a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering and two graduate degrees from Georgia Tech. He ran an environmental consulting firm, worked in real estate development, and had recently begun day trading.

The attacker, fellow day trader Mark O. Barton, had already murdered his wife and two children before opening fire at two trading firms that day. Barton killed nine people in the assaults, including Havash, and wounded thirteen others before taking his own life. Havash’s wife and daughter were in Tehran at the time and returned to the United States for his funeral.
