The murders of four Muslim men of South Asian descent in Albuquerque, New Mexico in recent months—with the latest killing taking place Friday night—have horrified the local community, fueling fears of a serial killer targeting people on the basis of their religion and race.
Following their discovery of 25-year-old Naeem Hussain late Friday, Albuquerque authorities said the killing "may be connected" to the murders of Muhammad Afzaal Hussain, Aftab Hussein, and Mohammad Ahmadi, each of whom was reportedly ambushed and gunned down in New Mexico's largest city.
