Pakistani passes away in California after possible assault

A Pakistani-American by the name of Mohammad Ali Khan passed away after succumbing to his injuries in Sacramento, California. Khan had been living in the US for more than a decade and no one really knows what caused his tragic and untimely demise.

However, most of the clues point towards a possible assault which could have resulted in Khan’s death. According to reports, Khan received serious injuries on August 27, after which he had been struggling for his life. Eventually, he passed away leaving behind his family in Pakistan.

According to the reports provided, the Sacramento police were called to the scene after Khan was found bleeding and in need of medical attention. Khan, who is said to be in his 30s, was attending a friend’s party in downtown Sacramento, where the incident took place.

The police are still not sure what really happened to the young Pakistani, and they are asking for potential witnesses to help in the assault investigations.

“Preliminary information obtained through the investigation suggests that the victim’s injuries were possibly caused by a physical assault,” stated the press release.

Meanwhile Khan’s friend Juanita Mancillas shed some light on the night when he was assaulted through a Facebook post. In that post, she wrote that he was attending her sister’s birthday in downtown Sacramento.

He left the party at 1:40am and “sometime between 1:40am and 2:15 am he either fell or was assaulted. His phone, keys and wallet were taken. There was still a crowd of people around at the time that this happened.”

Khan’s mother who was supposed to visit him in October “had to take an emergency 26 hour flight from Pakistan yesterday only to say goodbye to her son who she loves so fiercely,” writes Mancillas.

Khan was living in the US after completing his studies from there and he wanted to settle there for good.

The police department states no motive has yet been established and that they “are requesting the public’s assistance in any information they may have related to the incident.”
