Sajid Akram, a Pakistani-Australian who owned a fruit shop, was among the alleged shooters in the tragic assault at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. He died at the scene, while his 24-year-old son, Naveed Akram, was captured during the incident.

The two attackers, who targeted the Jewish community in Sydney, had informed their family that they were embarking on a fishing trip to the South Coast.

We will track down all associates of these gunmen and take decisive action to ensure the safety of the community.” He added, “Such disgraceful acts of violence and the senseless taking of innocent lives are intolerable in NSW.”
