An Illinois landlord who killed a six-year-old Muslim boy and severely injured his mother in a vicious hate-crime attack days after the war in Gaza began was sentenced on Friday to 53 years in prison.
Joseph Czuba, 73, was found guilty in February of murder, attempted murder and hate-crime charges in the death of Wadee Alfayoumi and the wounding of his mother, Hanan Shaheen.
Czuba targeted them in October 2023 because of their Islamic faith and as a response to the war between Israel and Hamas. The Palestinian American family were renting rooms from Czuba at a suburban Chicago house at the time of the attack.
