An Indian American immigrant was brutally beheaded in front of his wife and son in Dallas, according to an X post from Representative Ro Khanna on September 13th, 2025, at approximately 7:01 AM UTC. The suspect, who was reportedly undocumented, had multiple prior arrests for violent theft and child endangerment, Khanna stated, questioning why the individual was not in custody. The incident occurred at a Dallas motel where the victim managed. Further details regarding the timing of the beheading or the identity of the victim and suspect were not immediately available in the reporting window. However, the source linked to the statement directs to an NBC News article detailing the event, indicating the suspect had been told not to use a broken washing machine. This development follows national vigils and statements concerning the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. President Donald Trump departed New York City for Bedminster, New Jersey, at approximately 2:40 AM UTC on September 13th, as vigils continued across the country. Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, issued a warning that "The evil doers... have no idea what you have just unleashed across this entire country — and this world." Meanwhile, Utah Governor Spencer Cox reiterated his call for unity following Kirk's assassination at Utah Valley University.
