Khalid Jabara, 37, was shot and killed on the front porch of his family home in Tulsa, Oklahoma on August 12, 2016. The Jabara family had endured years of harassment from their next-door neighbor, Stanley Vernon Majors, who repeatedly directed racial slurs at them despite the family’s Christian faith. In 2013 Khalid’s mother, Haifa Jabara, obtained a protective order against Majors after ongoing abuse. In September 2015 Majors struck Haifa with his car; she suffered a broken shoulder and other serious injuries and Majors was arrested and held for eight months before being released on a $60,000 bond over prosecutors’ objections.

On the night of the shooting Khalid called police to report that his neighbor was armed; officers responded but left after they were unable to contact Majors. Minutes later Khalid was shot on his porch and his father called 911 to report the shooting. Majors, then 61, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and a hate crime; a jury later found him guilty on both counts and he received life without parole.

Did anyone who knew the Jabara family or lived near that block notice changes in Majors’s behavior before the violence escalated?
