Imam Alauddin Akonjee and his friend were shot dead in September 2016 in New York, but the police is yet to determine the motive of the murder, causing a delay in legal proceedings.
Akonjee and his friend, Thara Uddin, were shot point-blank in Ozone Park on August 12, 2016. They were walking home after finishing their prayers at Al-Furqan Jame Mosque.
The accused gunman, Oscar Morel, is on trial on charges of one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder. The trial began on Tuesday, February 27, more than a year after the murder took place. But the police have yet to find a motive.
More than a year has passed since the murder, and Nahim’s family is frustrated that the trial date has been pushed back several times, but his daughter is determined to seek justice for her father.
