Joseph Czuba, 73, is accused of killing 6-year-old Wadee Alfayoumi and wounding the child's mother, who were his tenants, after the Israel-Hamas war started in 2023.

Prosectors argued that the 2023 killing of Wadee Alfayoumi, 6, in suburban Chicago was motivated by anti-Muslim hate.

The mother of a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy killed in October 2023 in Illinois in a stabbing that authorities called a hate crime testified on Tuesday that her son's alleged attacker said they must die because they were Muslims.

A woman whose 6-year-old son was fatally stabbed in an attack that prosecutors say was motivated by hate said her son watched in fear as she was stabbed.
