DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - The pain is still so raw for Zahraa Altaie.
Her husband, Ahmed Al-Jumaili was shot and killed last Thursday while taking pictures of his first snowfall.
"He was a great person and now he's gone," said Zahraa.
Zahraa waited what felt like a lifetime to reunite with her husband Ahmed. He had fled his native Iraq, survived suicide bombings and threats from ISIS only to arrive to his new home in America and died outside in front of the love of his life.
"I put my hand on his heart. I still feel his heart beating. I tried to stop his bleeding, but I couldn't," said Zahraa.
Dallas Police believe it was two men seen in recently released surveillance video who randomly pulled up to the apartment complex and began shooting.
"They murdered him in cold blood and he didn't deserve it. He didn't deserve to die like that," said Zahraa.
Zahraa said they noticed the men that night but paid no attention to them nor did anything to provoke them.
"He meant everything. He still means everything to me. And I can't imagine myself living without him," said Zahraa.
Mohammed Altaae, Zahraa's father, struggles too in life without his son-in-law.
"Better life, better job. Start a new family, having kids. All of that goes with one second, one sound. Boom. That's it," said Altaae.
There is a reward of $12,000. But days after the shooting and there are still no arrests.
"I'll feel more peaceful if I saw them get caught. I just want to see justice," said Zahraa.
Family and friends will be meeting at the apartment complex near the 9900 block of Walnut Street at 3:00 p.m. on Friday to post new flyers in the hopes of finding the suspects.
