On July 18, 2022, Sania Khan, a photographer, was allegedly murdered by her ex-husband Raheel Ahmed, 36, in her Streeterville apartment. In addition, he committed when he heard the police at the door. Raheel Ahmed, a citizen of Georgia, drove to Streeterville to confront Sania. After his family filed a missing person’s report with Atlanta police, officers were dispatched to the East Ohio Street apartment to conduct a welfare check on him.
The moment Chicago police knocked on the door, gunshots were heard. Upon arrival, they discovered Sania’s corpse lying by the door, shot in the back of the head. Ahmed was later found in the bedroom with the same injuries.
Ahmed and Khan ended their relationship in the winter of 2021. Khan’s relationship with her parents was strained as they did not support her choice to divorce Ahmed, despite his aggressive and toxic behavior during the marriage.

Although Sania Khan was not a famous personality, her colleagues always admired her photography talent. People took to Twitter to share their grief after learning of Khan’s death. Sania’s situation illustrates the terrible truth that many parents are unable to empathize with the plight of their daughters in abusive marriages.
