A targeted attack in Nashville ended the life of 22-year-old Ahmed Amran in the early morning hours of February 25, 2025. Amran was leaving a Nolensville Pike hookah bar with three male passengers in his Honda Accord around 2:45 a.m. when the vehicle was deliberately fired upon. Amran was fatally wounded and pronounced dead behind the wheel after the car crashed into a nearby vape shop. Two 23-year-old passengers were also struck and taken to hospitals with gunshot injuries.

Surveillance showed two people following the group from the lounge; one suspect retrieved an AK-style firearm from another vehicle before approaching and opening fire. Within two days detectives identified and arrested three suspects: 23-year-old Sadiq Al-Sahaf, 22-year-old Mohammad Al Rabiey, and 21-year-old Abanoub Awed. All three have been charged with criminal homicide and three counts of attempted criminal homicide and are being held without bond. At arrest, Al-Sahaf was on federal pretrial release in a drug conspiracy matter and Al Rabiey was out on bond on unrelated charges.

Did anyone see the group leave the hookah bar that night or notice the two people following them?
