Man accused of ‘honor killings’ of two daughters on trial
SUMMARY: Former fugitive Yasser Said is currently on trial for the murders of his two teenage daughters, Amina and Sarah, in 2008. After evading capture for 12 years, Said was found and arrested in 2020. The case is a high-profile capital murder trial, with jury selection currently underway. A key piece of evidence is a frantic 911 call made by one of the dying daughters. The prosecution has alleged that the murders were “honor killings” due to the girls not following their father's Islamic faith. The defense is facing a significant challenge in this case.
Police say Yaser Said, a former fugitive on the FBI's Top Ten List, shot his teenage daughters, 18-year-old Amina and 17-year-old Sarah, outside an Irving hotel in 2008.
A Dallas jury unanimously found Yaser Said guilty of killing his two teen daughters, Sarah and Amina Said.
Judge Chika Anyiam sentenced Said to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutors said Said, a native of Egypt, was angry that his daughters were dating and that the boys were not Muslim. They claim in a 911 call from the night of the murders, Sarah said her father was attacking her.
Said's defense attorney said he will be filing a notice to appeal.

Hurricane Beryl Update: Dropped to Category 3 hurricane, could make landfall in Texas Monday
SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center’s 7 a.m. advisory reports that the hurricane remains a Category 3 with 120 mph winds, impacting the Cayman Islands, where hurricane warnings are in effect. The storm, though downgraded from Category 4, is still powerful. It is expected to make landfall south of Cancun early tomorrow as potentially a Category 1 hurricane, then move across the Yucatan into the southern Gulf of Mexico. A second landfall is likely south of Brownsville, near the Mexico-South Texas border, early Monday. Long-range models suggest the storm could eventually impact parts of Central and North Texas.
Hurricane Beryl was dropped to a Category 3 hurricane, but it is still a dangerous storm. FOX 4 meteorologist Kylie Capps shows the storms latest track, including the increasing chances that it will make landfall in Texas.
