Abdul Rahman Waziri, 31, was fatally shot on April 27, 2025, outside his apartment complex at the Gables at Richmond Apartments in Houston. Waziri lived there with his wife and two young daughters. Surveillance shows him arriving in a white Toyota Camry shortly before the dispute over parking that escalated into the deadly confrontation.

Waziri was a former member of an elite Afghan unit who worked with U.S. Green Berets for over five years and had resettled in the United States after the 2021 withdrawal. A man later approached Houston police and identified himself as the shooter; officers took his firearm and questioned him but released him without charges after consulting the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. No arrests have been made and the suspect’s name has not been disclosed.

Surveillance from the complex is under review but reportedly did not capture the shooting itself. Waziri’s family, Afghan community leaders and former comrades have demanded a thorough investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Houston Police Department Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
