Chahnaz Kebaier, 40, was fatally shot on May 25, 2012, while waiting for her children to be dismissed from Mary Scroggs Elementary School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She was transported to UNC hospitals and later died of her injuries after being shot multiple times in the face. Witnesses said Kebaier raised her hands and backed away as the shooter approached.

Authorities identified her estranged husband, Ali Cherfaoui, as the suspect. Kebaier had obtained a domestic violence protective order against him and had reported that he threatened to kill her if she took their children. The day before the shooting, Cherfaoui reportedly called his mother-in-law and made threats against both Kebaier and himself. The couple’s children were at the school when the shooting occurred.

The shooting underscores the lethal risk posed by domestic violence and the consequences for children who witness such trauma. Does anyone have information about the family’s situation at the time or remember seeing anything unusual at Mary Scroggs Elementary that afternoon?
