Zaid Abu Naim, a 42-year-old Jordanian-born American citizen, was shot and killed on June 26, 2015, in Southwest Houston during a road rage dispute over right-of-way.

Family members and the Council on American-Islamic Relations have urged that the killing be treated as a hate crime and dispute a police claim that Abu Naim punched Klimek. They say Abu Naim stepped out of his vehicle and questioned Klimek’s actions before being shot. Klimek was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; a Harris County grand jury later declined to indict him for murder. Prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to pursue hate crime charges, and Klimek’s defense invoked Texas’s Stand Your Ground law, arguing he acted in self-defense.

If anyone who lived in or near Southwest Houston that day saw the traffic dispute or has information about what happened at the intersection, please come forward.
