Sarah Said was an avid tennis player known as a silly but bright student. Her 18-year-old sister, Amina Said, was often called “the girl with pretty eyes,” friends say. The girls were well-liked and made good grades at Lewisville High School. Their father was strict and rarely let them spend time with friends. When Sarah, 17, recently met a boy at her job, she told a friend that her father would kill her if he found out. Friends are now rethinking the way they understood that turn of phrase. The Said sisters were fatally shot Tuesday evening in their father’s taxi in Irving, police said. A capital murder warrant has been issued for their father, Yaser Abdel Said, who is accused of killing both girls.
The story doesn’t have much about the father/alleged murderer, but there is this:
The girls often traveled to Egypt with their family, and friends were fascinated by their exotic heritage. Amina was thinking of going to college and studying medicine, a friend recalled. Sarah was taking Advanced Placement and honors classes.
