In 2022, Pakistani American woman Sania Khan was 29 when she was shot and killed by her former husband, Raheel Ahmad, in Chicago after she had posted about her divorce on her TikTok account. When the police arrived, Ahmad, 36 at the time, shot himself with the gun he used to kill Khan.

Pakistani police say 17-year-old TikTok star Sana Yousaf was shot dead by a man who contacted her online over and over. They called it a case of "repeated rejections."

A 22-year-old on suspicion who spent hours loitering outside Sana Yousaf’s home has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
