Joseph Czuba , 73 , was charged in the fatal stabbing of Wadee Alfayoumi and the wounding of his mother, Hanan Shaheen .

Authorities alleged the family was targeted because of their Islamic faith and as a response to the war between Israel and Hamas that erupted on Oct. 7, 2023 .

The crime renewed fears of anti-Muslim discrimination in the Chicago area's large and established Palestinian community.

Wadee Alfayoumi was stabbed to death by Czuba , police testified.

Shaheen had more than a dozen stab wounds and it took her weeks to recover.

Civil lawsuits have been filed over the boy’s death, including by his father.

The case comes amid rising hostility against Muslims and Palestinians in the U.S ..
