Emmanuel Pop Ba, 32, was shot and killed in Austin, Texas on December 5, 2023. Officers responding to reports of gunfire in the 7300 block of Shadywood Drive found Pop Ba with apparent gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Rahman, who was walking with her baby in a stroller, was taken to a hospital and later died; the child was reportedly not hit.

The suspect fled in Pop Ba’s vehicle, which was later recovered; he was arrested that evening after crashing another stolen vehicle and was found in possession of a firearm. Pop Ba’s family described him as a good person and hard worker and are arranging to bury him in Guatemala. The family has expressed frustration about limited information from authorities and, along with Rahman’s family, is seeking justice and greater transparency as the investigation continues.
