New Jersy: A Pakistani-American man plotted the killing of his wife with another woman and told police his family had been attacked by a group of men who called them terrorists.
The Pakistan-born mother of one was gunned down while they and their son walked along a quiet suburban street. His husband tried to paint it as a racial attack.
Kashif Parvaiz, 26, suffered non-life-threatening wounds in the shooting that killed his 27-year-old wife, Nazish Noorani. They were walking with their 3-year-old son, who was in a stroller, to a relative’s house in Boonton when shots rang out Tuesday night.
The boy was unharmed. The couple s 5-year-old son was with Noorani s family inside the house.
Parvaiz and 26-year-old Antionette Stephen of Massachusetts both face charges of murder, conspiracy and weapons offenses. He also faces child-endangerment charges.
Stephen and Parvaiz exchanged text messages in the days leading up to the shooting, according to an arrest affidavit released by the Morris County Prosecutor s Office.
Parvaiz told investigators the couple was attacked by a combination of black and white males who shouted ethnic slurs, authorities said. In his initial story, the group shouted something about the family being “terrorists,” authorities said.
The investigators were deeply concerned when Parvaiz suggested it was a bias crime, but within hours it was obvious to investigators that this was sadly the alleged handy work of the victim s husband who allegedly did the unthinkable and plotted to murder his wife.
