Milwaukee Brewers Employee Was Hired as ‘Female Assassin’ in Foiled Plot: Reports

Mugshots Prosecutors say Mohammed Nazir and Mohammed Aslam hired Aimee Betro in a failed murder plot.

Aimee Betro is a 44-year-old Milwaukee Brewers employee from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, accused of being a “female assassin” who unsuccessfully tried to shoot a boutique owner in a Birmingham, England, contract killing attempt in 2019, according to Daily Mail and Birmingham Live.

Daily Mail reported that Betro worked “as an administrator for the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team.” Heavy has contacted the Milwaukee Brewers team for confirmation.

According to Birmingham Live, Betro was accused of being a “female assassin from America” who “tried to shoot a man in the street in Birmingham” in a “bungled murder plot.”

The news site reported in June 2024 that a father and son, Mohammed Nazir and Mohammed Aslam, were convicted of conspiracy to murder and other charges after a trial at Birmingham Crown Court. Betro’s name surfaced in that trial, according to the outlet.

Birmingham Live reported that Betro “fled the country two days after the shooting” in September 2019. According to the Independent, Betro is “at large,” per prosecutors.


Aimee Betro’s Gun Jammed When She Confronted the Target While Wearing a Hijab, Reports Say

According to Birmingham Live, Betro is accused of being a “hired hitman” whose gun jammed when she confronted Sikander Ali. She was wearing a Hijab at the time, Birmingham Live reported.

“She walked quite calmly towards Sikander Ali and was pointing a gun at him at head height,” prosecutor Kevin Hegarty said, according to Daily Beast. “As she got closer to Sikander Ali he saw her and he saw the gun and she pulled the trigger to fire the gun at him. Mercifully and luckily for him, the gun jammed.”

Birmingham Live reported that there were conflicting reports on the target, saying Betro “may have actually intended to kill the man’s father Aslat Mahumad,” a boutique owner.

“The jury was told there was ‘history’ between the defendants’ and Mr Mahumad’s families including a violent incident at the latter’s boutique shop” in 2018, Birmingham Live reported.


Aimee Betro Is Accused of Using Fake Names at Hotels in England

Birmingham Live reported that Betro fled England after the shooting and thus wasn’t tried there. She had used fake names while staying in hotels during the 2019 incident, the outlet reported.

Public records show Betro, 44, with an address in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It lists to a modest home worth about $200,000, per Zillow. She also has ties to Illinois, according to WGN-TV.

Daily Mail reported that Betro was accused of returning to the target’s home in a taxi after the failed shooting attempt and firing three shots.

She is then accused of having texted Ali’s father, “Stop playing hide and seek,” Daily Mail reported. She is also accused of texting him, “You want to rip me off, you want to be a drugs kingpin go look at your house. I will show you. Watch your back. I will be shedding blood soon,” but he replied, “What are you talking about? I’m a family man I have never sold drugs in my life,” Daily Mail reported.

According to Daily Mail, Betro “studied early childhood education at a local college in Milwaukee.”
