RIP :(
RIP Brother May ALLAH grant you Jannah and with shifat of RASOOL SAW
 
RIP feel for his parents to lose a child has to be the worst but to lose a child in a violent way
 
I hope American Pakistanis also protest over this murder :(

There's nothing to protest about, some kid thought he was a macho man. Robbery gone wrong.

Chicago is a battleground for gang turf, homicide, and robbery.

Unless of course they were targeted based on nationality.

Perhaps they were targeted because in the US most of the apartments around a university tend to be occupied by university students. Loyola University in Chicago is a private Jesuit (Catholic) University with $22,100 tuition a semester!

The question is how much money they got away with? I know many desi students in the US, work under the table, and tend to carry cash, since they cant deposit it in the banks.
 
Parents pay great deal of money to get children the education they want. Sad for the families loss and R.I.P. there should be video footage of the culprits surrounding blocks with cctv cameras. It will surely take a long time to obtain all those camera evidence from all those buildings.
 
Condolences to the family. I encourage fellow Pakistanis to legally conceal carry in US. I hope those perpetrators are arrested soon.
 
I feel sad for his Family. They might be going through a lot. :sad: May Allah give patience to them.
 
RIP...seems a ordinary robbery case
 
RiP. Just a robbery gone wrong.

he though gun was fake....

ROGERS PARK — Mutahir Rauf was a muscular Brooklyn transplant who knew street violence well from his time in New York and didn't fear it - but that fearless attitude may have lead to his murder Friday night, friends said.

"I don't think he was ever [robbed], but he had stories of friends. He said in Brooklyn they always used fake guns," Rauf's friend Jay Ramadurai said.
