Suspect charged with three murders that terrorized Albuquerque Muslims

Muhammad Syed, 51, faces three charges of first-degree murder but grand jurors stopped short of charging him with a fourth killing

Authorities investigating four killings that terrorized the Islamic community in New Mexico's largest city have charged their prime suspect with three of the murders.

An Albuquerque grand jury on Monday indicted Afghan refugee Muhammad Syed, 51, on three charges of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of cafe employee Aftab Hussein, urban planning director Muhammad Hussain, and truck business owner Naeem Hussain, over a 10-day stretch beginning in late July.
