Biography[]
Khaleel falling to his death
Ahmed Khaleel was born in the United Arab Emirates to a Sunni Muslim family, and he became a close friend of Yusuf Amir. Khaleel became one of Amir's bodyguards during his 2008 trip to New York City, but he later grew disillusioned with Amir's extravagance and decided to team up with fellow associate Tahir Saeed and the NYPD to have Amir arrested or killed. The two men set up a meeting with Amir on the observation deck of the Empire State Building, but Amir sent Luis Fernando Lopez to the meeting instead. The SWAT assaulted the observation deck, leading to a shootout. Khaleel was chased to the spire of the building by Lopez, who shot his way through the SWAT troopers. Khaleel was scared by Lopez when Lopez lunged at him; Khaleel gave Lopez his parachute before slipping and falling to his death, breaking his back on the ground below the spire before falling to his death on the street below.
