A deranged stalker murdered podcast host Zohreh Sadeghi and her husband Mohammed Naseri in a murder-suicide at the £1 million house. Sadeghi was shot and killed Sunday night in her Redmond, Washington house by trucker Ramin Khodakaramezaei.
Khodakaramrezaei had stalked his victim for several months before he broke into her house in the Seattle suburb of Redmond through an open window at 1:45 am, police said. He shot Sadeghi and her husband, Mohammed Naseri, before turning his weapon on himself. Sadeghi’s mother managed to escape and called the police from a neighbor’s house.

Who was Mohammed Naseri?
Naseri was shot in the upper torso and he tried to escape the scene, before collapsing by the front door of the house, according to Redmond Police Chief Darrell Lowe. Officers attempted CPR on Naseri until paramedics reached them but were unable to resuscitate him. He was 35 years old.
Naseri’s wife Sadeghi hosted a podcast aimed at helping Farsi-speaking people find jobs in the tech industry. Khodakaramrezaei first came into contact with Sadeghi through the same show.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Naseri joined Amazon in January 2022 as a software engineer. He married Sadeghi in 2011. She worked as a software engineer who worked for Promontory MortgagePath after studying at the University of Washington Tacoma.
The Texas trucker made hundreds of “vulgar and angry” calls to victims leaving more than 20 messages per day, according to a report. Khodakaramrezaei called the podcaster more than 10 times a day and left more than 20 daily messages for her husband.
Sadeghi said that two messages she received late last month were “vulgar, angry and threatening,” according to the protection order filed on March 3.

Khodakaramrezaei “has bursts of anger” and his “delusions make me fear for my life and the lives of my loved ones,” Sadeghi wrote in her petition for the protection order, according to a report by KOMO News.
