A 23-year-old TikTok user from Houston has been arrested and charged with murder after allegedly shooting his former co-worker over a $31,000 debt dispute. Naqibullah Habibzoi, who had more than 20,000 followers on the social media platform, was taken into custody on August 21 in connection with the May 31 killing of Awal Noor Kiftan, 34, outside his San Antonio apartment, per the San Antonio Express-News.
The two men had previously worked together at a trucking company. According to court records and police reports, the shooting occurred around 11 p.m. when Kiftan was called outside his apartment in the 9100 block of Dartbrook Drive after being told a woman was there to meet him. A friend who was with Kiftan at the time heard gunshots shortly after he stepped outside and found him lying unresponsive on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene.
