Police reports indicate that shortly after their meeting, Murady followed Husseini and shot him 13 times at the corner of Fondren and Richmond on Tuesday, nearly a mile away from Jaguar Security Company.
Both men were involved in private security businesses.
Husseini's business partner Mustafa Abushalbak revealed to FOX 26 that Murady had previously visited Jaguar about a year ago and attempted to steal business from them in New Orleans and Dallas.
Murady later apologized for his actions, and the business had not heard from him since.
The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, as does the content of the conversation between Husseini and Murady.
