On July 30, 2020, Nuer was shot and killed in his parent's home by a friend he had accommodated and sheltered in his residence.
To his parents, Nuer was a caring, loving, and helpful firstborn who obeyed his parents and elders. His love for his sibling was exceptional and dearly missed. Nuer was known for his soft-spoken, his utmost intellect and quiet demeanor. Nuer departed at the age of 19 years and was survived by his parents, sister Nyayow, brothers Koang, Yuek, Jal, and his half-brother Gai.
His passing has appalled and outraged relatives, friends, and Communities in the United States, South Sudan, and in his birth country of Ethiopia. The Family requests religious leaders to pray to the Lord to reconcile the broken hearts of his uncle Ruot Yuek Gai in South Sudan, his Grandmother, and his first cousin, Mahider Zelalem, in Ethiopia girlfriend Kristy Powel and Tesloach Peter Khor Malual here in the United States.
"Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD."
Numbers 3:13.
"Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God's wrath. For it is written: "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord."
Roman 12:19
