Mansour Kaziha and Nader Awad were tragically identified as victims of the shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, California, where Amin Abdullah's actions were credited with saving lives. Abdullah, a dedicated security guard for over a decade and a father of eight, engaged the shooters, delaying their access to the mosque, which was filled with approximately 150 children at the time. Police Chief Scott Wahl praised Abdullah's bravery, noting that he was shot twice but still managed to alert others inside the center.

Kaziha, affectionately known as 'Abu Ezz', was a prominent community leader who managed the mosque store for nearly 40 years. He was remembered for his warmth and kindness, leaving behind five sons and 14 grandchildren. Awad, who lived across the street, also played a crucial role during the incident by directing community members away from danger. The shooters, Cain Clark and Caleb Vazquez, are believed to have shared extremist ideologies and are suspected to have died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. The case is being treated as a hate crime, highlighting ongoing issues of religious intolerance.
