A man arrested as the prime suspect in the serial killing of four Muslim men in Albuquerque is believed to be a Sunni Muslim himself, it has been reported.
Police named the man as 51-year-old Muhammad Syed, who lived in southeast Albuquerque.
He emigrated from Afghanistan 'in the last few years', police said on Tuesday, and was twice charged with domestic violence - but charges were dropped.
Court records obtained by DailyMail.com show Syed was arrested in May 2018 and charged with 'battery (household member)'. He pleaded not guilty, and prosecutors dropped the charges in August of that year.
Four months later, on December 23, 2018, Syed was charged with aggravated battery. The case was dismissed in April 2019.
It is believed that the suspected killer himself was a Sunni Muslim - and may have targeted his victims because he was angry over his daughter marrying a Shiite Muslim, according to the New York Times.
But the brother of one of the victims told DailyMail.com their family was Sunni, not Shiite, and he did not believe the hypothesis.
Albuquerque police on Tuesday said Syed was identified through his car, thanks to tip offs from the community.
'As detectives prepared to search Syed's home on Monday, Syed drove from the residence in the Volkswagen Jetta that detectives believe was used in at least one of the murders,' they said in a statement.

As expected by a number of posters on the thread on this previously.
And the Biden administration was ready to demagogue against white supremecists.
Those wild and wacky Afghanis! Welcome to America!
The land of that sweet, sweet diversity aka the national religion which our evil leaders chose as the national religion when they rejected God just 50-60 short years ago!
Oh dear. Let’s play “find the white Republican.”
I wonder how many Leftists assumed it was a white guy?
Sunni vs Shiite is definitely a hate crime.
“I’m Sunni, but my daughter married a Shia Muslim so I’ll whack a few Sunnis. That will teach the Shia.”
“ I wonder how many Leftists assumed it was a white guy?”
All of them.
2 muzzies-deport them. Cheaper. Who cares?
Well Shite!
Better yet give him a hundred goats. Let hem know crime pays.
So not the YUGEST threat to the country then? You know, MVEs
Oh, Shiite!
No wonder not a peep from the commie media this story went poof gone
Sunni vs Shia “honor killing!”
Whodathunkit?
The death cult strikes again!
Ha called it, Sunni versus Shia. No matter, what a freaking tragedy.
Awwwwww. It’s not a white, Trump supporting cowboy?? What a disappointment... /s
Gee Biden opened his mouth about this when he figured the killer was a white Christian.
Is he now going to denounce half the Muslims in the world?
