Ashtiana Rashidi and Criminal Negligence Causing Death

Ahmed Mourani Shallo: A 20-year-old Calgary man is facing charges of criminal negligence causing death, hit and run causing death, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and theft, according to Brandon Sun. Police won't release his name until he appears in court. Ashtiana Rashidi, who was 35 and known to her family as Maryam, died Tuesday. A 16-year-old boy was released without charges. Both got engineering jobs in Canada oil capital, but when the Alberta economy started to decline, both were laid off. Family friend Amin Atter said Wednesday that Rashidi and her husband, Ahmed Mourani Shallo, both emigrated to Canada from their home country of Iran a year ago, stopping for a few weeks in Montreal before moving to Calgary.
