Father-of-four, 63, killed delivering pizza during 'set-up robbery'

The grieving family of a pizza delivery man murdered on the job in Alabama at the weekend say he was a hard-working and honorable who came to the US chasing the American Dream.

Father-of-four Najeh Masaeid, 63, a Jordanian immigrant, was delivering a Dominos order to the District at the Summit apartment building in Birmingham on Sunday night, but when he got there the apartment was vacant.

His body was found in a hallway, having died of blunt force trauma to the head, in what police believe was a premeditated robbery.

However the owner of the Domino's shop where Masaeid had worked for over 15 years said Masaeid likely only had about $20 on him.
