'They were her whole world.' Crash leaves 4-year-old without grandmother
Rabbi Benjamin Sendrow admired how much joy and love could be seen on Susan Rose Schwab's face whenever she talked about her daughter and granddaughter, even after all the tragedy her family had experienced. Schwab had become the adoptive mother to her grandchild, Amoni, after her daughter was killed in a shooting in Castleton almost five years ago. 'They were her whole world,' Sendrow said. 'And after Meghan's death, she doted and adored her granddaughter.' Amoni's father, Michael Beasley Jr., has been in and out of jail since Meghan Schwab's death, Indianapolis police records show, and Susan Schwab became Amoni's primary caregiver. The grandmother took pride in raising Amoni, so much so that she would send photos of her granddaughter to people in the congregation every time the girl achieved a new skill. The last photo she sent was of Amoni learning how to write her name. The next day, on July 26, Schwab died in a single-vehicle crash at the intersection of Meridian and 91st streets after her 2012 Toyota Camry hit a tree. Amoni was in the car at the time and, fortunately, survived the crash's impact. Bystanders worked together to pull Amoni out of the vehicle. They provided aid until emergency medical personnel arrived and transported her to Riley Hospital for Children in critical condition. For days, Amoni was 'fighting for her life,' Sendrow said. But on Aug. 4, Sendrow and his wife were informed that Amoni's condition had stabilized and she had started her 'long road of recovery.' As people began to make their way inside the Ohev Zedeck Cemetery in south Indianapolis on July 31, a wave of somberness could be felt as they noticed the two Schwab graves. The death of Susan Schwab came as a shock to many at her funeral. Although she was in her 70s, people seem to forget that detail due to how active she was every week, juggling her duties to the congregation while trying to raise a 4-year-old. 'She was a person who always put others before herself,' Sendrow said at her funeral. Schwab spent much of her life focusing on and guiding the next generation of Hoosiers. A native Hoosier, she graduated from Broad Ripple High School and the University of Michigan. When she moved back to Indiana, she dedicated herself to serving the community. She spent her career as a teacher, ensuring kids knew how to read before they left her class in elementary school. She served as the president of the Lawrence Education Association for several years, with the hope of supporting teachers and improving the school district. In her late 40s, Schwab adopted Meghan, an infant from Russia. Schwab adored her daughter, Sendrow said. 'She would always talk so highly of her daughter,' Sendrow said. 'Her daughter was so smart, she knew Hebrew and Russian.' In 2020, Schwab shared with IndyStar that her daughter was planning to study radiology; however, there was a moment when she considered being a veterinarian. It was a future she wished she could have experienced with her daughter. Schwab was the only mother that Amoni ever knew. She was the woman Amoni called out for when she was trapped in the car, and in the few moments of consciousness she experienced at the hospital. Perhaps that's what made Schwab's death hit harder for the dozens of people who gathered at her grave. When Rabbi Sendrow asked God to help guide Schwab to him and watch over Amoni, rain began to fall. It was a moment noticed by all in attendance, with several beginning to weep as the soil above her grave turned wet and muddy. On Aug. 4, Sendrow shared with IndyStar that he and his wife, Arlene, were in the process of becoming Amoni's legal guardians and working on a way to set up a trust fund that she can use for her education. 'We want to do what's best for Amoni,' Arlene Sendrow said. 'She's gone through a lot in such a short time.'

Texas Man Charged With Killing Afghan Father: What To Know
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Newsweek has exclusively obtained, through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the official charge sheet for Katia Trevon Bougere, a 31-year-old Texas man indicted on a murder charge in the April shooting of Abdul Rahman Waziri in Houston. Waziri—a refugee who fled to the United States in 2021 after serving in an elite Afghan military unit trained to detect hidden explosives and assigned to protect U.S. Green Berets—was fatally shot after a confrontation. According to the indictment issued by a Harris County grand jury, Bougere—born November 14, 1993, and originally from California—faces a felony murder charge as prosecutors pursue the case. Why It Matters Rather than being arrested on the felony murder charge, Bougere was allowed to remain free after receiving only a summons to appear in court—a move that has provoked outrage from Waziri's grieving family, their lawyers and parts of the community. Waziri's death has prompted public protests in Houston and letters from former U.S. military personnel who served with him, calling for justice, and raises a number of legal and ethical questions. Abdul Rahman Waziri was part of an elite Afghan military unit trained to detect hidden explosives and assigned to protect U.S. Green Berets. Abdul Rahman Waziri was part of an elite Afghan military unit trained to detect hidden explosives and assigned to protect U.S. Green Berets. Waziri Family What To Know The fatal shooting occurred around 9:08 p.m. April 27 outside an apartment complex on Ocee Street in Houston. According to police and surveillance footage reviewed by Newsweek, the shooting followed a brief confrontation between the two men over a parking spot. Video time-stamps show Waziri arriving at 9:06:28 p.m. in his white Toyota Camry. He parked, switched on his hazard lights and briefly stepped out to collect his mail. Just 22 seconds later, at 9:06:50 p.m., a black Kia sedan pulled in. Its driver, later identified by police as Bougere, exited the vehicle and confronted Waziri. The two men exchanged gestures before Waziri returned to his mailbox, while Bougere moved toward Waziri's parked car. Due to a camera obstruction, the footage does not capture the moments immediately preceding the shooting. According to Houston police, Waziri returned to his vehicle intending to leave when Bougere retrieved a gun from his own car and opened fire, striking Waziri multiple times. Surveillance video then shows Bougere calmly walking away from the scene. Waziri, married with two young daughters, was later pronounced dead at Ben Taub General Hospital. When law enforcement arrived, police said, a man identified himself to responding officers as the shooter, telling them the altercation began over a parking dispute. Police confiscated his firearm, interviewed him, and—on the advice of the Harris County District Attorney's Office—released him without a charge. "That's the unfortunate circumstance here," according to family attorney Omar Khawaja, who says Waziri was unarmed: "If you shoot and kill somebody and you report it and claim self-defense, then now, somehow there's a little bit of credibility given to your statement. "A husband and father was senselessly killed, and while we are grateful the grand jury returned a murder charge, it is outrageous that the man accused of taking his life is being allowed to appear by summons—not arrested, not handcuffed, not treated like the violent offender he is alleged to be," Khawaja said, according to adding, "This indictment is just the beginning of the justice the Waziri family deserves." Abdullah Waziri, Abdul's older brother, discussed returning to the scene: "Actually I don't like this area [pointing to the ground] ... in this crack, the bloods were here, and I asked the neighbor to get us a bucket and a brush, and I dumped water, and they were helping me with the cleaning the blood," reported. Newsweek exclusively obtained the official charge sheet for Bougere, dated July 27, which states: "In the name and by the authority of the State of Texas: the duly organized Grand Jury of Harris County, Texas, presents in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, that in Harris County, Texas, Katia Trevon Bougere, hereafter styled the Defendant, heretofore on or about April 27, 2025, did then and there unlawfully intentionally and knowingly cause the death of Abdul Waziri, hereinafter called the Complainant, by Shooting The Complainant With A Deadly Weapon, Namely, A Firearm." In Texas, when courts determine whether bail is "sufficient and non-oppressive," they must follow guidelines set out in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure (Article 17.15), setting an amount that: Is high enough to ensure court appearance and public safety, But not excessively high to be considered unconstitutional or punitive. On July 31, a bail bond for Bougere was requested, and granted, at $100,000. What People Are Saying Khawaja, in an exclusive interview with Newsweek on July 31, said: "Had he [Bougere] just waited 30 seconds, Mr. Waziri would have gotten his mail and moved on. Instead, an enraged man with a firearm decided otherwise. "Texas has developed an irrational sensitivity toward so-called Second Amendment rights. We now see regular shootings—road rage, parking disputes—it feels like the Wild West. People are drawing guns instead of resolving conflicts peacefully. Is that really the society we want, one where we tolerate dueling in the streets? "From what I understand from some of the residents that we interviewed ... this guy, Bougere, was living at these apartments ... and with the shooter continuing to live in the same complex, created a chilling effect. But the lack of an immediate arrest has terrified witnesses. Multiple eyewitnesses saw what happened, but many are just too scared to speak. We're urging them to come forward so justice can be served. We just want this family to get some justice." Ben Hoffman, a 20-year veteran with the Green Berets who served six tours in Afghanistan and who met with Waziri in 2019, told the media: "It makes me extremely upset ... after everything he went through and everything he risked, for him to be shot dead in front of his apartment over what seems like some dumb argument, and then for there to be ... very little response from the local authorities ... it breaks my heart," reported. What Happens Next The legal office of Khawaja is standing by the Waziri family, ensuring they understand the legal process and get the support they need. Subsequent to the shooting, Bougere was evicted from the complex and has moved to an apartment 2.1 miles away. He is under bail conditions that ban him from leaving his home and include GPS monitoring. His next court date is set for 9 a.m. August 5.
