Urooj Aftab, a 32-year-old woman from Pakistan who had lived in Perth Amboy, New Jersey for about a year and a half, was fatally shot during the night of October 29, 2017. A family friend requested a welfare check shortly after midnight on October 30; officers found her dead inside her home, and the official time of death was recorded at 12:49 a.m.

Investigation focused on her brother, 34-year-old Arun Aftab. He was stopped at the US–Canada border by Canadian authorities while attempting to leave the country and was found in possession of a handgun. He had a prior conviction for making false statements to federal authorities about a firearm purchase and was charged with murder and weapons offenses in connection with Urooj’s death. After extradition to New Jersey, a non-jury trial and psychological evaluation resulted in a finding of not guilty by reason of insanity on October 4, 2019, with further psychiatric evaluation and treatment ordered.
