Joseph Czuba, 73, is accused of killing 6-year-old Wadee Alfayoumi and wounding the child's mother, who were his tenants, after the Israel-Hamas war started in 2023.

Prosectors argued that the 2023 killing of Wadee Alfayoumi, 6, in suburban Chicago was motivated by anti-Muslim hate.

An Illinois landlord charged with murder, attempted murder and a hate crime in a 2023 attack on a Palestinian American mother and her young son is expected at trial.

A woman whose 6-year-old son was fatally stabbed in an attack that prosecutors say was motivated by hate said her son watched in fear as she was stabbed.

The prosecution in the trial of Plainfield landlord Joseph Czuba also showed several photos Wadee Alfayoumi's injuries to the jury — positioning the screen in a way that the jurors and judge could see but not the people watching from the gallery.
