Azim Khamisa and Ples Felix with children |
In 1995, 20-year-old San Diego State (SDSU) student Tariq Khamisa was shot
and killed while delivering pizzas. From the outset, Azim Khamisa, Tariq's
father saw "victims on both ends of the gun." He created the Tariq Khamisa
Foundation (TKF) to "stop children from killing children." Remarkably, he
reached out in forgiveness to Ples Felix, the grandfather and guardian of
Tony Hicks, his son's 14-year-old assailant who is serving 25 years-to-life
in an adult prison. Together, Azim & Ples have dedicated their lives to
saving America's children.
