We are sad to learn that Nurul Amin Shah died by homicide. Shah was a visually impaired Rohingya refugee from Myanmar who had come to the U.S. to escape the near-genocidal persecution of the Rohingya in Myanmar.

New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, opened an investigation into Shah’s death in March. The Erie county district attorney’s office requested the autopsy as part of its parallel investigation. While such investigations cannot return Shah to his wife and children, strongly enforced accountability may help prevent recurrence of this kind of tragedy.
