Police in Albuquerque, New Mexico, have arrested a 51-year-old man in connection to the recent killings of two Muslim men in the city. Police said Muhammad Syed is considered the “primary suspect” in the deaths.
Detectives searched Syed’s home where they found additional evidence that they believe ties him to the killings, police said. This includes evidence that police said shows that Syed knew the victims “to some extent” and interpersonal conflict may have led to the shootings.
Syed has been arrested on two homicide charges, in connection to the July 26 death of Aftab Hussein and the Aug. 1 death of Muhammad Afzaal Hussain.
“Detectives connected those homicides using bullet casings found at the scenes,” the release said. “The gun used in those shootings was discovered during the overnight search of his home.”
Police are working with the district attorney on potential charges for the other two homicides, the Aug. 5 killing of Naeem Hussain and the Nov. 7, 2021 killing of Mohammad Zaher Ahmadi.
