On February 21, 2025, a tragic shooting unfolded at RK Auto Sales, a car dealership located on Mansfield Highway in southeast Fort Worth, Texas. Among the victims was Saed Khader, whose identity was confirmed by family members through social media posts and funeral announcements. The incident also claimed the life of 35-year-old Hamzeh Jamal Almaani. The shooting occurred when a former employee of the dealership, identified as 35-year-old Rafael Arreguin, opened fire on the lot.
Authorities reported that a third individual was wounded in the attack and was hospitalized in critical condition. Following the shooting, Forest Hill police swiftly arrested Arreguin in Fort Worth later that evening. He now faces charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Jail records indicate that Arreguin is being held in the Tarrant County Jail with a bond set at $125,000.
The community has been deeply affected by the violence, with funeral services and prayers for both victims held at Dar El-Eman Islamic Center in Arlington. The circumstances surrounding the attack remain under investigation as authorities work to determine the motive behind the shooting.
