Immigrant from Lebanon Drags Woman to Her Death

FORT LAUDERDALE -- The last thing Michael Williams says he heard his wife Sandra Hall say to a hit-and-run driver ( as she dangled from the hood of a minivan that had struck the couple's car was, "You ain't going nowhere."

Broward Sheriff Ken Jenne announced Monday afternoon the arrest of a man at New York's John F. Kennedy airport in the dragging death of Sandra Hall, 44, of Fort Lauderdale.

Sheriff Jenne identified the suspect as Abdelaziz Hamze, 24, of Coral Springs, during a press conference.

The suspect was pulled from an Athens-bound flight at JFK airport, at approximately 4:20 p.m., Monday afternoon, by agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It is believed Hamze, who is a U.S. citizen, purchased his ticket to Greece following the murder. Athens is a common connecting point for flights to Lebanon, where Hamze is originally from.

Detectives say Hall fell off the minivan's hood and got caught in the undercarriage, Sheriff Ken Jenne said at a news conference Monday morning. The driver then dragged her for about two miles, reaching speeds up to 70 mph in the process and weaving between lanes in an attempt to shake her off. He finally left Hall dead in the 1600 block of State Road 7 in North Lauderdale.

Family of Sandra Hall released this photo 44-year-old mother of two, who was dragged to death on Sunday.

The trail of Hall's blood was still visible on parts of the paved roadway on Monday morning.
