Sayed Nawid Lutfi, 37, was remembered by friends and family as kind, hardworking and social — a 14-year Air Force Reserve veteran who spent about a decade working for United Airlines. On the evening of July 21, 2023, Lutfi was caught up in a road rage incident in the Uptown neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. He was unarmed and attempted to intervene; during the confrontation he was shot and taken to a local hospital with critical injuries.

Lutfi remained hospitalized with his parents at his bedside and died of his injuries on July 23, 2023. His death prompted an outpouring of support and a fundraiser organized by a colleague of his father to help the family. Dallas police investigated the shooting and arrested a suspect, 47-year-old John Luster; a Dallas County grand jury indicted Luster on a murder charge in October 2023 and the case was proceeding through the courts then.

Did anyone in Dallas witness the July 21 road rage incident or have information about what happened in Uptown that night?
