On Friday afternoon, Naeem Hussain attended the funeral service for two Muslim men who were killed in the past two weeks. He joined other mourners afterward, sharing a meal, at the Islamic Center of New Mexico. Then he left.

Several hours later, a little before midnight, Naeem Hussain was shot to death in a parking lot of an organization that offers services for refugees and asylum seekers near San Mateo and Copper NE, according to the Islamic Center’s spokesman.

His death was the latest in what police suspect is a string of homicides targeting Muslim men based on their race and religion.

Gauba said the Muslim community — especially the student population who live near the area where two most recent shootings happened — is feeling very afraid. He said Naeem Hussain is from Afghanistan and Pakistan.

“Right now it is really tough to deal with it,” Gauba said. “I mean especially right after the funeral, the same day, that thing happened again. So it’s just really crazy.”

5. I can't imagine, can't make my brain even consider

the place where anyone thinks a human being can be killed because of their race. And yet, humans have killed others over race, creed, religion for time immemorial. This country, and this species, sure can be disgusting sometimes.

7. Ballistics should report within hours

At least it would be known if the same gun was used in all murders, what caliber, what range, etc. Albuquerque is a big enough town to have a police forensics lab sophisticated enough to determine that. Of course, if the perp(s) have half a brain, they’d know that, too, but they have to be identified before an IQ of 120 is shown to be the score of one shooter, or the cumulative score of two or more of them.
