Just a few weeks after Suzanne's visit to her brother and his new wife, their neighbor, Craig Stephen Hicks, murdered them, as well as Yusor's sister, Razan, who was visiting for the afternoon, in their apartment, execution style, after posting anti-Muslim statements on his Facebook page.
Samo nekoliko tjedana nakon što je  Suzanne posjetila svog brata i  njegovu novu suprugu, njihov susjed, Craig Stephen Hicks, ih je ubio, kao i Yusorinu sestru, Razan, koja je bila u posjeti to popodne, u njihovom stanu, u stilu smaknuća, nakon objavljivanja anti-muslimanske  izjave na svojoj Facebook stranici.
