Saturday will mark 10 years since a beloved husband, father, grandfather Jordanian immigrant and Domino’s pizza driver was murdered in an ambush robbery during a delivery at an apartment complex in the popular Summit shopping center off U.S. 280.

Murdered on Dec.21, 2014, 63-year-old Najeh Masaeid’s daughter said at the time that little was more important to her father than doing the right thing for the right reason, especially when it came to money.

Jordan Masaeid-Hosey put it best when she said a decade ago, “He came here for the American Dream, and it was shattered by American greed.”

Masaeid-Hosey, now a 36-year-old successful realtor, developer and business owner, wanted to publicly honor her father on the milestone anniversary of his death.

She has put a billboard behind Franklin Automotive at the Colonnade to make sure no one forgets her father or the impact he left on his customers, his community and, most of all, his family.

“Every time I drive through Cahaba Heights, it’s like this dark cloud is hang over me,’’ Masaeid-Hosey said.

“One day I was sitting in traffic there looking at a Domino’s billboard, and I was like, ‘I just need to celebrate him instead of remembering him from a depressed state of mind.”

“People still talk about him all of the time, so I wanted to honor him and keep his memory going,’’ she said. “He’d been (working) there nearly two decades, and he really did impact that community.”

“You don’t think a delivery driver can make that kind of impact, and that’s what really inspired me,’’ Masaeid-Hosey said.

“You don’t have to be the greatest, most influential, richest person to make an impact,’’ she said. “You just have to be a person with a hard work ethic, and that’s who he was and that’s what he instilled in me.”

Masaeid, a father of four, was found dead that Sunday evening in the hallway of a building at the apartment complex. A resident called 911 about 6:45 p.m. after making the awful discovery in the breezeway.

He had been called to deliver a pizza to a vacant apartment in the complex. When he arrived, then-17-year-old Corey Arrington Jr. punched Masaeid and knocked him down before punching the deliveryman again.

When Masaeid fell, he hit his head on the concrete ground.

Arrington told investigators Masaeid was bleeding from the mouth and choking when he turned the body over to get his wallet.

According to the owner of the Cahaba Heights’ Domino’s, Masaeid did not have more than $20 in his wallet.

Masaeid’s car was still running when police arrived. A warming bag holding pizzas was found near him.

Arrington, initially charged with capital murder, pleaded guilty two years later to felony murder and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

He was also sentenced to 10 years for robbing and assaulting a Papa John’s deliveryman – 67-year-old Jimmy Lanford – at the same apartment complex weeks before Masaeid’s death.

Masaied moved to the U.S. almost 30 years ago and obtained citizenship. He took a job with his close friend at Domino’s and worked at least 80 hours a week to make ends meet.

He and his wife lived in a modest Shelby County apartment. Though he was eligible for government assistance, he never took it.

“His work was honorable,’’ his daughter said. “He wasn’t making the greatest money in the world, but he did something he loved, and he enjoyed it and that was enough for him.”

In the 10 years since his slaying, Masaeid has missed so much, Masaeid-Hosey said.

“He has missed out on watching me build my first hotel, he has missed out on obviously a million milestones of our kids growing up, he has missed out on watching me build my first brokerage, which now I’m building in Trace Crossings and I’m building a new condo hotel in Trace Crossings in Hoover also,’’ she said.

Masaeid-Hosey, managing broker and CEO of HBH Realty, this past year opened Buck Creek BNB, a boutique bed & breakfast in Helena. It is the first commercial lodging in the city in recent memory.

She also hosted an HGTV episode called, “The American Dream,” and broke ground on her brokerage in Hoover.

Masaeid always had a great love for real estate and architecture. The father and daughter duo often would “crash” open houses.

“He would take me to different buildings of different architects because he was enamored by architecture, especially with the way they built things here versus back home where everything is built out of cinder block,’’ Masaeid-Hosey said.

“I think that’s where I got my love for real estate and architecture, and I just took that and ran with it,’’ she said. “I wish more than anything he could see that.”

Also since his death, Masaeid-Hosey bought several homes for her mother and then built her mother a house from scratch.

“He never owned a house. He always talked about it,’’ Masaeid-Hosey said of her father. “He would say, ‘One day, we’re going to own our house, we’re going to live in our own house. We’re not going to rent apartments anymore.’’’

“I made that happen. Not just for me, but I taught my mom how to do it,’’ Masaeid-Hosey said. “I taught her how to build her credit and create income. At 65 years old, to be a first-time homeowner is pretty fantastic. It’s never too late.”

Masaeid-Hosey said she’s amazed, and touched, at how many people remember her father.

“He is still talked about,’’ she said. “People tell me the wildest stories.”

“He took his job so seriously, but he really connected with people and made an impact on him,’’ she said.

“That’s what I want people to remember. Remember who they are and what they are and how much a humble background can really impact the community you live in and serve in. I just think it’s so great.”

“I’m going to continue honoring him as long as I’m alive,’’ she said.

The teen who killed Masaeid is now a 27-year-old man and still behind bars.

Masaeid-Hosey said she expects he will come up for parole at some point, and she plans to be involved in that process.

“I want to know who he is now. He was 17 and barely knew what he was doing,’’ she said.

“I believe in my heart he didn’t mean to kill him,’’ she said. “He was trying to rob him, and it was the way my dad’s head landed on the concrete just that caused immediate internal hemorrhage in his brain.”

When Arrington was sentenced in 2016, he made a short statement and said he was “truly sorry” for his actions which resulted in Masaeid’s death.

“If I could give my life for his… I would,” he said, adding that he would suffer every day of his life.

“I’ve forgiven him. I hope he’s doing something with his life,’’ Masaeid-Hosey said. “Vengeance is not mine to carry.”
