Chapel Hill Murder Victims: Their Beautiful Life

Three young adults were victims of a hate crime. On Feburary 10, 2015 Craig Stephen Hicks (46) broke into a home and killed Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, his wife, Yusor Mohammad, 21, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19 execution style. They were known for their love and kindness towards other. Deah and Yusor were newly weds that had their future stolen from them in a violent rage of hate. Craig Stephen harassed them before but nothing was done about it, in some cases his gun in clear view.

One of the last posts made by the victims was one were they were feeding the homeless. A funding page for Syrian Dental Relief was made with Deah Barakat as one of the organizers that would benefit Syrian refugees in Turkey.

In memory of Deah, Yusor, and Razan and the goodness and light they brought to this world I would like to help spread the word of this fund. Here is the link to the page:

Watch the video below to hear in his own words what this meant to him.
