And it was social media that eventually led detectives straight to the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>On May 31, officers responded to the 9100 block of Dartbrook Drive for a shooting.<\/p>\n<p>When officers got there, they found the victim, 34-year-old Awal Noor Kiftan, who had been shot multiple times. He died on the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Police were able to track Habibzoi through his TikTok account, according to the warrant. Habibzoi posted comments and videos about the victim and a dispute over $31,000.<\/p>\n<p>One of the comments mentioned revenge, another included a picture of the victim.<\/p>\n<p>Police say after the multiple posts were deleted, Habibzoi posted another video saying his account had been hacked, trying to imply he was being framed.<\/p>\n<p>Detectives figured out Habibzoi knew the victim when they worked together for a trucking company. Other evidence showed Habibzoi drove from Houston to San Antonio to allegedly commit the murder.<\/p>\n<p>A voice call was obtained of Habibzoi where he allegedly admitted to the murder, saying his heart was &#8220;pleased and satisfied.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He was arrested in another county and booked virtually into the Bexar County jail.<\/p>\n<p>No word yet on when he&#8217;ll be extradited back to Bexar County to face a murder charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Investigators say 23-year-old Naqibullah Habibzoi posted threats and photos of the victim online before traveling to San Antonio&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":169907,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-169906","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-san-antonio","10":"tag-sanantonio","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115079806327215325","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
