DALLAS (AP) – An 18-year-old man has been convicted of killing of an Iraqi man taking photos of his first snowfall in Texas.
Nykerion Nealon was convicted of murder in the death of Ahmed Al-Jumaili.
Al-Jumaili was outside his Dallas apartment complex taking pictures of snow with his wife and brother on the night of March 4, 2015, when he was shot.
Police said at the time that Nealon told officers he had been hunting for people he thought had shot at his girlfriend’s nearby apartment complex that evening. Nealon faces up to life in prison.
Al-Jumaili fled violence in Iraq to reunite with his wife. He had been in Texas just three weeks when he was killed.
