Summary

A 21-year-old pre-med college student was doused with acid, leaving her blind and disfigured. Nafiah Ikram, 21, was attacked outside of her Long Island, New York, home in March, in an incident that her family members believed had been planned. Security footage caught the act as Ikram stepped out of a car with her mother, just before the attack. While physicians aren’t sure if Ikram will ever fully see again, investigators are trying to determine who would do this to the victim. Ikram said she was likely targeted but has no idea why. Police said the suspect in the New York incident wore a black hooded sweatshirt during the incident and was holding a white cup. He stands around 6-feet-2-inches tall and has a “skinny build.” Joining Nancy Grace today; Nafiah Ikram - Victim, GoFundMe: "Help Nafiah, acid attack survivor, get justice" gofund.me/95699ed6  Sherina Mohammed- Victim's Mother Wendy Patrick - California prosecutor, Author: “Red Flags” www.wendypatrickphd.com 'Today with Dr. Wendy' on KCBQ in San Diego Dr. Jorey Krawczyn [KRAW-ZIN] - Police Psychologist, Adjunct Faculty with Saint Leo University; Research Consultant with Blue Wall Institute, Author: Operation S.O.S. - Practical Recommendations to Help “Stop Officer Suicide” (July 2021) bw-institute.com Karen L. Smith - Forensic Expert, Lecturer at the University of Florida, Host of Shattered Souls Podcast, @KarensForensic, barebonesforensic.com Sarina Fazan - Four-time Emmy award-winning TV Anchor & Reporter, Sarina Fazan Media, sarinafazan.media, Podcast: "On The Record with Sarina Fazan" @sarinafazannews, YouTube: Sarina Fazan TV
