Police say the ride-share driver was found dead last Friday around noon at an apartment complex near Sandy Lane.
Witnesses told police that Sherali’s vehicle crashed into a fence before someone else jumped in the driver’s seat and drove off. Sherali was left with a fatal gunshot wound in the torso.
The vehicle was found abandoned nearby.
Sherali’s family told FOX 4 that the father of two recently moved his family to North Texas from Afghanistan in 2021 after the Taliban captured the capital city.
A motive for the murder has not been released.
