Members for the Sudanese community came together to remember Abubaker Abumasha, who is described by family as a hard working father and husband. He went back to Sudan to celebrate Eid with his wife and two daughters.
"They got to the first checkpoint, they were getting a wave to come. Then as they got there, bullets started flying. My dad got hit in his leg first, then after, he got hit in his head, then he died. My three little sisters were all in the car. My mom and my little sisters," explained Khalid Maleeh, Abumasha's son."They're heartbroken. I can just tell, it's traumatic. It's never gonna leave them. There's only so much I can do from here.
Maleeh said his family is working with immigration officials to get his mom and sisters home, but is hoping with increased awareness, more can be done to get other innocent civilians to safety.
