Sarah Yaser Said was 17 when she was shot dead on January 1, 2008, in Irving, Texas. She and her 18-year-old sister, Amina Said, were lured into their father Yaser Abdel Said’s taxi; inside the cab he shot Sarah nine times and Amina twice. Sarah made a final 911 call and identified her father as the shooter before dying.

The killings were described as an honor killing and were said to be motivated by Yaser Said’s belief that his daughters had dishonored the family by dating non-Muslim boys and refusing arranged marriages. Yaser Said fled after the murders and remained at large for more than a decade; his son Islam Said and brother Yassein Said were arrested on charges of aiding a fugitive. Yaser Said was placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List and was captured on August 26, 2020.

The case drew widespread attention for issues of honor-based violence and domestic abuse. If anyone knew Sarah or Amina, or has information about their lives before January 1, 2008, please share what you remember.
