Husband and Wife Charged in Scheme to Murder Wife’s Lover
A woman allegedly conspired with her husband to kill the man with whom she was cheating this past weekend.
Officers from the Houston Police Department responded to the scene of an attempted murder at a Chick-fil-A on Westheimer around 9 p.m. on Saturday, October 19.
Hanna Alolaimi and her husband, Omar Bishtawi, appeared before a judge on Monday, October 21, where they were both charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated assault.
According to court records, Alolaimi was the one having the affair with a man who is also married.
“It is alleged that you were both married to other people, and when the complaining witness found out about the relationship, the complaining witness broke off the relationship,” a magistrate said.
Alolaimi did not walk away from the situation. Instead, she allegedly devised a plan to kill and kidnap the man with whom she was having an affair.
Court records reveal that she recruited her husband to hide in her backseat while she staged a meet-up with the victim.
At the time, the victim was working as a DoorDash delivery driver and had picked up an order at Chick-fil-A.
“It is alleged that you (Alolaimi) gestured to the complaining witness, and the complaining witness got into your vehicle,” the magistrate said.
According to court records, Alolaimi and the victim often met behind a nearby Target to hook up, which is just across from the apartment complex where both lived.
On the night of the shooting, Alolaimi allegedly chose the nearby Chick-fil-A deliberately, hoping to lure the victim to their usual spot.
“(Alolaimi) tried to drive off with the complaining witness, although the complaining witness told you that he had a delivery and could not go,” the magistrate said.
Details read aloud in court allege that the victim had no idea Alolaimi’s husband was also in the car.
“Your husband jumped out from under a curtain that was in the backseat of the vehicle. He put the complaining witness in a chokehold and pressed a firearm to the complaining witness’s head,” the magistrate said.
According to investigators on the scene Saturday night, the victim tried to get away, and that’s when Bishtawi shot him. Once in the leg and once in the foot.
“Which could have caused de@th due to the complaining witness bleeding out,” the magistrate said.
The couple ultimately drove away but later called the police to surrender.
According to court records, they provided conflicting statements to officers.
They have since been charged with aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping.
