According to ANHA Correspondent, the victim, Asad Ibrahim al-Youssef (45), was shot by two individuals on a motorcycle while walking with his child along the Sixty Street highway across from the Housing District in Zahraa.

The attackers opened fire as the man and his child were pushing a bicycle. Al-Youssef was struck in the chest and died instantly from his critical injuries.

He was transported to al-Zahraa Hospital, where medical staff attempted to resuscitate him, but all efforts failed.

In recent days, Homs has witnessed a surge in violent crimes and armed attacks, raising growing concerns among residents—particularly within the Alawite community—over the worsening security situation.
