Prosecutors in Florida are seeking the death penalty for Shahidul Islam, a deported Bangladeshi national indicted in the first-degree murder of his sister-in-law, Monica Islam, who was found dead with a gunshot wound after disappearing on May 2, 2025. Islam, who had been deported three times, fled to New York City after the killing and was later extradited to Lake County for prosecution.
