Los Angeles Father Charged With Killing Son for Being Gay
By The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Apr 3, 2016, 5:30 AM ET
A Los Angeles man charged with fatally shooting his 29-year-old son for being gay had repeatedly threatened to kill him over his sexual orientation, prosecutors say.
Amir Issa, 29, was found shot to death just outside the family home on Tuesday. While the Los Angeles County district attorney's office charged father Shehada Issa, 69, on Friday with murder as a hate crime in the son's death, investigators on Saturday still were trying to determine responsibility for a second killing at the home discovered by police at the same time, that of Amir's mother, police spokesman Officer Mike Lopez said.
The mother, 68-year-old Rabihah Issa, had been stabbed repeatedly, coroner's Lt. David Smith said.
Shehada Issa told police he shot his son Amir in self-defense after he discovered his wife's body in their house.
Prosecutors gave a different motive for the son's killing, however. "The murder was committed because of the victim's sexual orientation and because of the defendant's perception of that status and the victims' association with a person and a group of that status," prosecutors said in a statement.
They did not elaborate.

He killed his son for being happy? Hmmmm....
Burns me up to see the way we have let the left hi-jack words. I refuse to use the word “gay” that way.
Why would had stab one victim and shoot the other, though?
He has an Arabic name, Amir Issa (الأمير عيسى), which means:
Amir = Emir/Prince
Issa = Jesus
so, sadly, he was apparently named after Jesus Christ.
Amir had a prior arrest for slashing someone's face with a knife and a history of drug and mental problems. Perhaps he murdered his mother and the father executed him. I think, in part, police may have charged the father with Amir's murder because they said the mother had been dead for a while, suggesting to me they were not immediately connected in time (no immediate threat).
Thanks for posting this. Winston again was able to recognize true evil before most people.
Issa is the English transliteration of the Arabic word for Jesus. This tragic family was Seventh Day Adventist.
You have got to be f**king sh**ing me. Looks at liberal logic used not to offend other liberals and muslim. Had this guy been a Christian, they would be screaming "hate, hate, hate!"
Issa is a prophet in Islam also.
It was a Christian family. They have Christian names and there home faith group was Seventh Day Adventist in Glendale.
Yes, Islam recognizes every Jewish prophet in the Bible as a true prophet of God, including Jesus (Issa) of Nazareth.
“The LA authorities are untrustworthy, and may try to cover for the homo.”
Typical for California, the homo’s and the wetbacks can never do wrong.
Unfortunately, it IS typical of California.
so sad, he will rot in hell for what he did to his child.
Being gay is now called a “status”?
My theory: The mother was all over the son for being gay. He stabbed her to death. The father came home and was attacked by his son so he shot him.
Oh, wait. That’s pretty much what the father said. Okay, I believe the father.
Most likely you’re right. Father told mother he was going to kill son, mother tries to stop him and he kills them both in the name of Allah. I could be wrong but this is a repeated pattern.
