On January 19, 2023, at about 10:45 p.m., Dallas police found 33-year-old Khurram Ali inside a vehicle on the 5900 block of North Central Expressway Service Road with a gunshot wound. Dallas Fire-Rescue transported Ali to a hospital, where he later died. Investigators say Ali had arranged to meet 20-year-old rapper Ghazi Harris, known professionally as 2G.Kaash, to buy marijuana. A security guard at the scene reported two vehicles parked side by side, a brief interaction, then Ali’s vehicle leaving suddenly, striking an unoccupied SUV and dropping a trash bag; the guard then heard a gunshot and saw two people run from Ali’s SUV into the other car before it fled.

Handprints recovered from Ali’s vehicle matched Harris’s prints. On February 24, 2023, authorities arrested Harris during a concert and charged him with Ali’s murder; he is being held without bond.
