The shooting happened at the intersection of Fondren Road and Richmond Avenue, where Bill Arafat owns a furniture and electronics store."In front of my store, when he shot, I really cannot believe," Arafat, who has known Husseini's brother Abraham Husseini for years, said."His brother, there, outside, and he told me, 'Somebody shot my brother,'" Arafat said.
"They invited me to have coffee, sit, and introduce me to , shake hands. 'How are you?'" Arafat recalled. "'He's from Iraq. Nice to meet you.'"
