Isabella Bella Ann Lewis, a 26-year-old female Lyft driver of unspecified ethnicity, was tragically killed on August 29, 2021, in Garland, Texas. She was shot by Imran Ali Rasheed, a 32-year-old man, after she picked him up for a ride. Rasheed then stole Lewis' car and drove to the Plano Police Department, where he opened fire before being shot and killed by responding officers.
The incident sparked a terrorism investigation, as a note found in Lewis' car suggested that Rasheed may have
been inspired by a foreign terrorist organization. Rasheed had previously been investigated by the FBI for suspected terrorist sympathies from 2010 to 2013, but no evidence was found to indicate that he was directed by or in contact with foreign terrorist actors.
The investigation into Lewis' murder and the potential terrorist motive is ongoing, involving the Garland Police Department, Plano Police Department, and the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. No other suspects have been identified, and it is believed that Rasheed acted alone.
Is there anything else you would like to know about this case?
