PEORIA, Ariz. - Peoria police are looking for a father suspected of running down his daughter because she was becoming too "westernized" and was not living according to their traditional Iraqi values.
Peoria police say 48-year-old Faleh Hassan Almaleki of Glendale allegedly ran his daughter down Tuesday at an Arizona Department of Economic Security parking lot in Peoria.
"When I walked out the door I saw two ladies on the ground, so my first thought was some kind of domestic dispute," says witness Synthia Diaz.
The victim, 20-year-old Noor Faleh Almaleki of Surprise, is hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.
A second woman, Noor Almaleki's roommate, was also injured. She's identified as 43-year-old Amal Edan Khalaf, also of Surprise. Khalaf has what are described as non-life threatening injuries.
Faleh Almaleki was last seen driving a grey or silver 2000 Jeep grand Cherokee, Arizona license ADS-9192. He has not yet been apprehended.
Family and friends told Peoria investigators that Almaleki was mad and threatened his daughter for adopting Western ways. Almaleki and his family had moved to Glendale from Iraq.
LOL. Either that or its George Lopez's younger brother.
Such a lovely girl. What a shame.
I thought my dad was strict, but he never tried to kill me with the car.
El Gourdo!
“Hey, Faleh...if you didn’t want her to become “westernized,” then why did you move to the U.S., you hypocritical a-hole???”
That’s the real question, isn’t it?
