Lumar is a “sweet and spunky 10-year-old girl” who was born in Iraq, her father said in an interview with MLive on May 4. When she was a toddler, her family came to the United States so that her father could go to college, under an agreement that they would return to Iraq after he graduated, Kareem said.
