Lacey parents sentenced for brutal assault of teen daughter near Timberline High School [View all]

THURSTON COUNTY, Wash. — Two Lacey parents learned their fate in Thurston County Superior Court Monday for the brutal assault of their daughter outside her school.

Ihsan and Zahraa Ali had previously been accused of trying to kill their then 17-year-old daughter near a bus stop outside Timberline High School in October 2024.

Multiple witnesses reported seeing Mr. Ali trying to strangle his daughter to the point she had a seizure and became unconscious as several students tried to stop him. Eventually adult bystanders were able to pry the teenage victim from her father’s grasp.

Judge Christine Schaller sentenced Mr. Ali to the maximum penalties allowed for each charge he was convicted of, which includes 14 months for assault in the second degree, 12 months for unlawful imprisonment and 364 days for assault in the fourth degree, with 182 days suspended, for a total of about 20 months for all the charges he’s been convicted of.
