He alerted the school of the threat just before he was fatally shot by two San Diego teenagers in what is being investigated as a hate crime.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/losangelesmovinginsider.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/19\/encinitas-council-to-discuss-changes-to-annual-state-of-city-event\/\">Encinitas Council to discuss changes to annual State of City event<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But to Hawaa Abdullah, Amin Abdullah was Dad. A protector. And a man who modeled how to be a good human, husband, worker, son.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday afternoon at a news conference near the mosque, Hawaa was flanked by around a dozen family members, many sobbing, as she recited verses from the Quran about faith and shared memories about her father.<\/p>\n<p>Families of the other two victims, Nader Awad and Mansour Kaziha, did not speak, but others at the news conference called them brave heroes whose losses are unfathomable.<\/p>\n<p>In her tribute to her father, Hawaa painted a picture of\u00a0devotion, openness, self-improvement and selflessness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was the best \u2014 the absolute best dad in the world. He was my protector,\u201d she said. He was also a good son, she added. \u201cHe called his mom every night to check on her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amin Abdullah was open toward all people, regarding them with kindness, his daughter reflected. Muslim, Christian, Jewish, those with no faith, \u201che didn\u2019t care, he would treat you human to human. He would smile at people he did not know. You can see the happiness, and just who he was as a person, just looking at his face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said her father was always encouraging his children to get educated. He had a high school diploma and wanted more for them.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cFollowing his teachings, I got my teaching credential last week,\u201d she said. Amin Abdullah did not join the celebration, though, because he was working. He saw the photos and videos after the fact.<\/p>\n<p>As a convert to Islam and a Muslim father, he \u201ctaught my brothers how to be young black Muslim men. He was all about education,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She also shared a memory of an affectionate ritual of sorts they shared, which was now tinged by tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>Hawaa Abdullah described how she would occasionally drive by the mosque and pull up in her car, to \u201csneak up on him.\u201d It was an amusing custom created by the father and daughter. Amin Abdullah would always spot her car, walk over and let her know: \u201cI saw your car pass by.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>That vigilance, she said, showed that \u201che took his job seriously. So seriously, to the point, sometimes he didn\u2019t even want to eat. He wanted to save his food till after he left the job, \u2019cause he was afraid that if he went on his break, something bad would happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Monday\u2019s tragedy proved he was right.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Tuesday, after having viewed the Islamic Center\u2019s surveillance footage, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said he hadn\u2019t realized just how heroically Abdullah had acted.<\/p>\n<p>Wahl said that upon arriving at the Islamic Center, the two shooters ran past the security guard, likely unaware of his presence.<\/p>\n<p>Abdullah \u201cimmediately observed the threat to everybody at the mosque\u201d and began firing at the two shooters, Wahl told reporters. Both suspects returned fire. The security footage showed Abdullah reaching for his radio to initiate lockdown protocols while still engaged in a gunbattle, Wahl said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/losangelesmovinginsider.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/19\/the-latest-gallrein-defeats-massie-in-kentucky-furthering-trumps-hold-on-gop\/\">The Latest: Gallrein defeats Massie in Kentucky, furthering Trump\u2019s hold on GOP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis actions, without a doubt, delayed, distracted and ultimately deterred these two individuals from gaining access to the greater areas of the mosque where as many as 140 kids were within 15 feet of these suspects,\u201d Wahl said. \u201cTragically, he died in that gunbattle.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Neighbor, caretaker: heroes<\/h4>\n<p>Ramla Sahid, the executive director of the Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans, described Awad and Kaziha, the other two victims, as \u201cbrave heroes\u201d and martyrs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur community is deeply grieving right now. We are horrified by the hate and bigotry that fueled this violent act,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Awad, 57, lived across the street from the center and went there daily to pray. His wife was a schoolteacher there. He rushed to the school \u201cafter hearing initial gunshots. We mourn him,\u201d Sahid said.<\/p>\n<p>Kaziha, 78, a husband, father and grandfather, was the center\u2019s caretaker and a vital presence there for decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was tracking the shooters when he got shot,\u201d Sahid said.<\/p>\n<p>Taha Hassane, the center\u2019s imam, praised all three victims earlier Tuesday in remarks to reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he heard shooting, he rushed to do something, to protect,\u201d Hassane said of Awad. \u201cAnd he joined Mansour Kaziha.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hassane was especially close to Kaziha, who had been a part of the Islamic Center since it broke ground 40 years ago \u2014 and Hassane\u2019s most reliable congregant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is on the top of my list for people to call \u2026 Anything that goes wrong \u2014 he was the handyman, he was the cook, he was the caretaker, he was the storekeeper, he was everything,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to do at the Islamic Center without his assistance, his daily assistance. We miss him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wahl and Hassane said the two men were hiding in the parking lot and drew the attention of the shooters, who cornered them in the parking lot and killed them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey sacrificed their lives to protect the entire community inside the Islamic Center of San Diego,\u201d Hassane said. \u201cThey died together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By Tuesday evening, a crowd of hundreds came to Lindbergh Neighborhood Park for a vigil. With the mosque set in the background against a setting sun, they heard how the three men died while attempting to save lives on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>As speakers took turns sharing stories, people openly mourned. They held one another \u2014 touching their heads together and interlocking their arms \u2014 and wiped away tears.<\/p>\n<p>People in the multicultural, interfaith crowd wore hijabs and keffiyeh, and spoke of their shared belief in God, how love was at the center of all their faiths, and said they mourned with the Muslim community.<\/p>\n<p>When a speaker called on the crowd to call for peace, a resounding response in Arabic was heard.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/losangelesmovinginsider.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/19\/trump-orders-banks-to-take-a-closer-look-at-clients-citizenship-in-new-immigration-enforcement-move\/\">Trump orders banks to take a closer look at clients\u2019 citizenship in new immigration enforcement move<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Staff writer Caleb Lunetta contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Families of the other two victims, Nader Awad and Mansour Kaziha, did not speak, but others at the press conference called them brave heroes whose losses are unfathomable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":931,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime-and-public-safety"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
