Could?
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Authorities say Abdool Zaman, 39, killed his daughter, Vanessa Zaman, and niece, Leona Samlall, both 18, when they tried to escape his home late last year

  • Vanessa reportedly moved in with her estranged dad in 2018 when she became a legal adult, going against the wishes of her mother, Saveeta Barnes

  • Barnes said her daughter later realized Abdool was abusing his girlfriend, Leona, before realizing Leona was also his niece

  • Leona had reportedly been missing from her mother's home for two years

  • Vanessa was trying to take Leona back to Leona's mother on December 13 when Abdool drove up and shot both teens in Highland Springs, Virginia

  • Abdool recently had his 2nd-degree murder charges upgraded to capital murder
According to Caribbean News Den, the gentleman’s full name is Abdool Z. Zaman, and he is from Guyana.

#4  2nd degree I guess because it just couldn't be premeditated by Abdrool? Bet he didn't mean it. Certainly no planning. Prob AD, twice.

stalking the teens
drove up to them in a car
gun in the car
shot both of them, dead
