Anwar A. last saw her uncle Mohannad Othman a month ago in Michigan as they prepared for a family wedding in May.
On Tuesday, she was in Oak Forest as the family mourned Othman. The 39-year-old was fatally shot outside his parents’ Oak Forest home Sunday, less than a mile from where he lived.
“It’s devastating,” said Anwar, who withheld her last name for privacy reasons. “It’s not something you’d ever imagine in a million years.”

The shooting was captured on surveillance video from a neighbor’s home.
At 5:22 p.m. Sunday, Othman pulled into the driveway of his parents’ home in the 5500 block of Babette Court. A red vehicle pulled in behind him seconds later, according to surveillance video shown to the Chicago Sun-Times. Othman then entered the house along with two men from the red vehicle.
Moments later, a woman ran from the home to a neighbor’s house and started “banging on the door,” according to a neighbor, whose 12-year-old sister was wounded.
Othman then chased the two men out of the home and toward the street as one of them swung an object at him, the video shows.
