In Albuquerque, New Mexico, Muslim Men Are Being Targeted.

 Don't let anyone tell you that anti-Muslim behavior has been tampered in the US: 

Albuquerque, New Mexico (CNN)Everyday life is now permeated by fear after four Muslim men were inexplicably gunned down in Albuquerque, a mosque leader said.

"Incredibly terrified. Panicked. Some people want to move from the state until this thing is over. Some people have moved from the state," said Ahmad Assed, president of the Islamic Center of New Mexico.

"Businesses are closing ... early. Students won't leave their homes," he said.

"It's affecting people from coming over to the mosque to conduct their services, their prayers. So, in every aspect of daily life that we're used to or accustomed to following, it's impacted it in every way possible."

On Friday night, 25-year-old Naeem Hussain was found dead by Albuquerque police. He became the third Muslim man killed in the city within two weeks, and the fourth since November.

Hours before his death, Hussain attended a funeral for two of the other shooting victims. The young man expressed fear about the recent shootings, said Tahir Gauba, spokesperson for the Islamic Center of New Mexico.

While no description of his killer was available, Albuquerque police said Hussain's death "may be connected" to the three previous killings of Muslim men from South Asia.

Those three men -- Muhammad Afzaal Hussain, 27, Aftab Hussein, 41, and Mohammad Ahmadi, 62 -- were all "ambushed with no warning, fired on and killed," said Kyle Hartsock, deputy commander of Albuquerque Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division.

While the investigation is ongoing and police have not definitively said all the attacks are connected, they have announced they are seeking "a vehicle of interest," which may be connected to the four killings.

Assed, the mosque president, said he's now among the many Muslims in New Mexico grappling with fear every day.

"I get in the car, and I'm watching every which way possible. I'm watching my side mirror. I'm looking in the back. I'm looking out for any sign of anything out of the ordinary," he said.

"At the end of the day, we don't have an alternative."
