Daoud Tarzi (alias David Hamoud) is the boyfriend of Nafeesa Amir, who was murdered in a public park. They dated against the wishes of Nafessa's father, Afghani ambassador Saleh Amir, and Tarzi was briefly considered a suspect and arraigned in court when Nafeesa's blood was found in his home.
It was revealed Saleh and his son Jaleel Amir killed Nafeessa in an "honor killing" because she defied the family's ultra-archaic values for a woman's liberties in America. To find her and kill her for refusing to return to the family, dirty cop and illegal P.I. Ross Campo tracked and beat Tarzi to find Nafeesa, but he didn't budge. Tarzi was released once that was revealed. (SVU: "Honor")
