8-27-2009 Texas:A man wanted in connection with a sexual assault in Denton County killed himself during a traffic stop in Collin County.
Collin County sheriffÕs deputies identified the man wanted by the Denton Police Department in connection with a sexual assault case who shot and killed himself on U.S. 380 Wednesday morning.
Lt. John Norton of the Collin County SheriffÕs Office identified the deceased suspect as 21-year-old Daniel Ali Kassam of McKinney. An autopsy conducted by the Collin County Medical ExaminerÕs Office confirmed the bodyÕs identity more than seven hours after his death.
Norton said deputies received an alert bulletin from Denton Police about the sexual assault around 7:45 a.m. Wednesday. The alert told deputies they were looking for a man in a black Infiniti regarding a reported sexual assault. Denton Police said the man was heading east on U.S. 380 towards McKinney.
A Collin County sheriff's deputy spotted the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop just east of the Farm-to-Market Road 1461 intersection. The driver of the Infiniti pulled over to the shoulder of the road, produced a weapon, pointed it at the right side of his head and pulled the trigger, Norton said.
Deputies did not make any prior contact to Kassam. Deputies immediately contacted dispatchers and asked them to send an ambulance. Paramedics declared Kassam dead at the scene just a few minutes later, Norton said.
Attempts were made to reach a representative of the Denton Police Department, but no one could be reached by presstime Wednesday. ..Source.. by Danny Gallagher, McKinney Courier-Gazette

Daniel Kassam Was A Friend Of Mine And I Have To Say He Is Innocent...
He Is NOT The Person To Lay A Hand On Any Women Let Alone A Finger. He Is A Great Friend And Loving Son And The Person Accusing Him Of Sexual Assualt Should Be Questioned More Then Once. The Person Who Did Accuse Daniel Of Sex Assault May Be Able To Live With What She Did As Okay For Now, But Later Down The Line The Guilt Of Her Accussing Daniel Who Took His Life Because He Was Afraid For Something He Didnt Do & He Knew No One Would Believe His Word Over Hers, That Will Haunt Her Forever. And To You The Girl Who Accussed Him, "You Sat There Accussed My Friend And Let Him Take His Life For A Crime He Did Not Commit & I Hope The Guilt Of That Breaks You Down." Daniel Was A Great Friend And He Will NEVER Be Forgotten. May He Rest In Peace. . .

Daniel Ali Kassam
i knew him. he was a really sweet guy and i really could never see him being capable of doing the things that have been said... he will be missed
we love u very much danny. Rip
I just found out about this and not to be rude, but why would he do that if he wasn't guilty? He could have pled innocent and had witnesses?
i am still in shock i knew him for years, i know he is innocent he had no need to rape any woman he could have women dropping at his feet, he was a good looking guy, and he had a huge heart. It can't be true, i wont believe it. And the girl that falsely acused him...... karma is a bitch and she will get hers in the end. There may be no justice in this world but eternity waits around the corner and there will be justice.
I knew him too. And sorry to burst your bubble but the facts stand. Daniel may have been influenced by alcohol and maybe even something else, but the actions depicted were his. He always said that if he did something that would land him in jail for a long time that he would rather take his own life. He lived up to his word, and that took him to his death. I knew him to be a good person, he had his flaws but he was good nonetheless. An entrepreneur, a sandwich stacker, a friend. He will be missed, and his way of leaving us won't overshadow the way he lived.
