On January 21, 2024, Zahia Zee Kassem, 25, was among four members of a Tinley Park family found fatally shot in the lower level of their home in the 7400 block of West 173rd Place. The other victims were her twin sister Halema, 25; their sister Hanan, 24; and their mother Majeda. Police were called just after 11:20 a.m. and recovered a .38 revolver with spent casings and a 9mm pistol at the scene.

Authorities said the family’s father and husband, 63-year-old Maher Kassem, met officers at the door, directed them to the victims and the firearms, and was secured as a single suspect. The family’s 19-year-old son was at home and unharmed; prosecutors said each daughter suffered gunshot wounds to the head and the mother was shot multiple times. Maher Kassem was arrested and later charged with four counts of first-degree murder and ordered held pending further proceedings. Mourners gathered for funeral services at a local mosque as the community grieved.

Does anyone have information about Zahia’s life in Tinley Park or knew the family and can share what might help investigators?
