On 2 June 2025, Sana Yousaf, a 17-year-old TikTok creator, was shot dead in her home in Islamabad, Pakistan, on her birthday. The suspected killer is 22-year-old Umar Hayat, reportedly her cousin and fellow content creator, who had allegedly pursued her romantically for several months.
According to police, Hayat arrived at the family home in Sector G-13, claiming to visit Sana for her birthday. Shortly after entering, he produced a firearm and shot her twice at close range. She died instantly. Hayat fled the scene but was arrested the following day in Faisalabad. During interrogation, he confessed to the murder and stated that he was enraged by her repeated rejections.
