OT: Najeh Masaeid memorial fund

A 17-year-old has been charged with the murder of a pizza delivery man who was killed on the job in Alabama last weekend.

Father-of-four Najeh Masaeid, 63, a Jordanian immigrant, was delivering a Domino's order to an apartment building in Birmingham, but when he got there it was vacant.

Corey Arrington Jr. is accused of killing Masaeid during a robbery.

He is in custody and undergoing questioning, held on a $100,000 bond for the robbery charge.

Masaeid's body was found in a hallway, having died of blunt force trauma to the head, in what police believe was a premeditated robbery.

The owner of the Domino's shop where Masaeid had worked for over 15 years said Masaeid likely only had about $20 on him.

"He came here for the American Dream and it was shattered by American greed," said Masaeid's daughter, Jordan Hosey.

"Where's the justice in that?"

"Nothing is free. You work. You pay for what you want. You don't get free."

"He really valued an honorable dollar."

Hosey said her father and mother moved to the US almost 20 years ago.

He took a job at Dominos and worked 80 hours a week to afford a modest apartment for his family in Shelby County.

Hosey further explained the story of her father on a GoFundMe page set up to help her mother.

Gonna lock this. We don't need stories every single time something happens...

This is sad, but not unique. Put this in the current events forum.
