Amina Yaser Said was an 18-year-old Egyptian-American who was killed on January 1, 2008, in Irving, Texas. She and her 17-year-old sister, Sarah Said, were found inside their father’s taxi cab, abandoned at the entrance of the Omni Mandalay Hotel, each having suffered multiple gunshot wounds. The medical examiner ruled both deaths due to multiple bullet wounds.

Early inquiry considered outside interference, but interviews with family members and other evidence pointed to their father, Yaser Abdel Said. Family accounts described physical and mental abuse, and said Yaser was very controlling, objecting to the daughters’ westernized behavior such as dating non-Muslims and refusing arranged marriages. The killings have been described as honor killings.

On August 26, 2020, Yaser Abdel Said was captured in Justin, Texas, after appearing on the FBI’s Most-Wanted list. His son Islam Said and brother Yassein Said were arrested for aiding a fugitive.
