ED & LH TEENAGER ARRESTED IN VIOLENT KILLING

On March 13, Dallas police arrested Nykerion Nealon, 17, for the murder of Ahmed AlJumaili. Just after midnight the previous Thursday, as snow began sticking to the ground for the first time this season, 36year old Al-Jumaili and his wife of 16 months, Zahraa, stepped outside their Richland Collegearea apartment. Ahmed had just moved to the area from Iran, and he had never seen snow.

As Zahraa took pictures of her husband and brother, who was visiting, gunfire erupted, police say, and Ahmed yelled, “I’m hit.” He died later that morning at Presbyterian hospital.

After media attention and the announcement of a reward, a witness on March 10 went to the police and provided detectives with a nickname, Kaca, which led police to Nealon, Dallas Police Maj. Jeff Cotner says.

Audelia Creek Elementary School provided surveillance video that helped police identify Nealon and the weapon pos- sibly used in the crime.

Police interviewed Nealon and searched his apartment and found an unfired rifle cartridge that matched casings at the scene of Al-Jumaili’s killing.

Police say that the shooting might have been retaliation for an earlier shooting attempt, and that Al-Jumaili was an innocent man caught in the crossfire.
