<p><strong>Sania Khan</strong>, a 29-year-old photographer, was allegedly killed by her ex-husband in a murder-suicide last week in Chicago after opening up about her divorce and healing journey on TikTok, according to The Chicago Sun-Times.</p>
<p>Khan, a Pakistani American who relocated to Chicago for a new start, was allegedly shot and killed by her ex-husband, 36-year-old Raheel Ahmed, last Monday. She initially lived in Chattanooga, Tennessee.</p>
<p>Reports say the killer traveled from his home in Alpharetta, Georgia, to Khan&#8217;s Chicago apartment before killing her and himself. Police found the ex-wife and Ahmed with gunshot wounds to their heads inside a residence during a wellness check, reports say.</p>
<p>Reports indicated that when Chicago police knocked on Khan’s door around 4:30 p.m., they heard a gunshot followed by a groan. The officers entered the home and found Khan and Ahmed both shot. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The man died later from his wounds at a nearby hospital.</p>

<p>Before tragedy struck, Khan opened up about healing after a divorce and her marital struggles on the social media platform TikTok. In one video, the ex-wife shared pictures of her before and after divorce, revealing she&#8217;d &#8220;never been happier.&#8221;</p>

<p>In earlier videos shared to her TikTok account, Sania claimed she felt a lack of support from friends and family. She claimed they warned her to not divorce her ex-husband. Khan said &#8220;women are always expected to stay silent.&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s what keeps us in messed up situations in the first place. I&#8217;m done with this mentality.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>Going through divorce as a Southasian woman feels like you failed at life sometimes. The way the community labels you, the lack of emotional support you receive, and the pressure to stay with someone because &#8220;what will people say&#8221; is isolating.</p></blockquote>
