Tasreen Khamisa and Tony Hicks in San Diego, Calif.
Tariq Khamisa was a college student working as a pizza delivery driver when he was murdered in a gang-related robbery in 1995.
The person who shot Tariq was 14-year-old Tony Hicks.
Five years after the murder, Tariq's father, Azim Khamisa, went to visit Tony for the first time. Tony, who was released in 2019, was still in prison at the time.
"It took me five years to develop enough courage to come and meet you," Azim told Tony during a recent StoryCorps interview.
Since that first meeting in 2000, the two have become close friends.
