Jury now deliberating in trial of Yaser Said, accused of fatally shooting his daughters

FORT WORTH, Texas — A Dallas County jury began deliberations Tuesday on a verdict for 65-year-old Yaser Said, who is accused in the 2008 shooting deaths of his two daughters in his taxi near an Irving hotel in what some family members called “honor killings.”

After the shooting, Said fled the scene and hid for 12 years before he was captured in a Justin home in August 2020, authorities have said.

Said, 65, pleaded not guilty in the shooting deaths of Amina, 18, and Sarah Said, 17.
