Jamshaid Khan

Khan’s widow, Saba Baig, is grieving the loss of her husband in a west St. Louis County condo near Creve Coeur that she shares with Khan’s mother. Speaking in Urdu on Monday, Baig said through a translator that she and Khan married in 2018 in Pakistan. She moved here full time in September. She said her husband liked Superman and Bollywood movies and, of course, playing the lottery.Khan won enough times to believe anything was possible. Apart from winning a fast track to becoming a U.S. citizen in 2001, she said he once won $5,000. He often told her he wanted to win big so he could buy her the house and car of her dreams. He also wanted to travel the world. She wanted to go to Mecca. Meanwhile, Khan kept working six days a week at Phillips 66. Based on how much he supported his family overseas, Baig said she was surprised her husband only made about $12.50 an hour. Though his shift ended late, around 11 p.m., they ate dinner together every night. The night of that attack, they were to have kabobs — Khan’s favorite. She grew worried when 11:30 p.m., then midnight rolled around and he wasn’t home. Baig and Khan’s mother, Rafiqa Begum, struggled to believe that he’d left Pakistan so long ago to die in such a brutal manner in Bridgeton, Missouri. “The gas station should have more security, more lights, more people to work there,” said Baig.
