It was gathered that Haider Rana, 24, gunned down Maame Amuah, 25, after she knocked on his front door late at night – he was in the middle of watching TV with a stripper who he was also seeing at the time.
Haider Rana claimed self-defence and said he didn’t know his lover was at the door. He has been charged with second-degree murder by firearm after he grabbed his pistol and opened fire at Maame Amuah.
It was gathered that the 25-year-old woman who lived across the street from Rana, is said to have phoned him multiple times throughout the day because she wanted to hang out in the evening.
According to Miami Herald, cellphone records showed that Amuah had phoned him 18 times in the 24 hours leading up to the shooting.
Haider alleged that Amuah “pushed the door open” which is when he unknowingly opened fire at her in May last year.
Prosecutors have disputed Rana’s self-defence claim after he told detectives that an intruder had bent down away from the peephole so he couldn’t see anyone.
Amuah’s mother, Jonell Jackson-Manu, said: “This guy knew my daughter was coming. She had been calling for him for two days.
“He got angry because my daughter kept calling and texting. He was with another girl in the room.”
According to an arrest warrant, Rana classed his relationship with the 25-year-old as “friends with benefits.”
Rana is being held without bond on one count of second-degree murder with a weapon after the charge was filed on November 17.
