On December 5, 2023, 24-year-old Sabrina Rahman was shot and killed in South Austin, Texas, in the 7300 block of Shadywood Drive. She had moved into a new home with her husband and their one-year-old son the day before the shooting. A family friend and handyman, 32-year-old Emmanuel Pop Ba, was also shot and killed; he had been sitting in his vehicle during a lunch break when the assailant approached and shot him.

Rahman was out for a walk with her baby in a stroller when she witnessed the attack on Pop Ba. She pushed the stroller toward a neighbor’s house to protect her child and attempted to flee. The gunman pursued her and fatally shot her; the baby was reportedly unharmed. Authorities identified a suspect, 34-year-old Shane James, who was arrested later that evening and has been charged with capital murder. Rahman’s husband, Ishraq Islam, has said she sacrificed her life to save their son; the family and community have held vigils and memorials.
