Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland — A 43-year-old American woman who built a new life in Ireland after leaving New York now leaves behind a daughter and grieving family following a violent death at her home.

According to social media posts, Jamey Carney made a series of fateful decisions that ended in her tragic death.

Mistake #1: She became deeply involved with the pro-Palestinian movement and then relocated to Ireland.

Mistake #2: She reportedly converted to Islam.

Mistake #3: There, she began a relationship with a Palestinian refugee from Jordan.

Carney openly shared the details of her new life and relationship on social media. The romance ended in violence. She was brutally beaten to death, allegedly by her partner. Her disfigured body was discovered by her 13-year-old daughter. The suspect has been on the run since Tuesday.

Ahmad Al-Saqar (also spelled Ahmad Alsaqer or Ahmed Al-Saqar), is a 28-year-old Jordanian national.

He was in a relationship with Jamey Carney and is the main person of interest (described by some reports as the chief suspect) in her murder. Gardaí believe he fled Ireland shortly after the killing — taking a bus from Killarney to Dublin Airport and flying to Istanbul, Turkey, before her body was discovered. He is believed to have headed toward Jordan.

He has not been formally charged, and authorities are seeking him for questioning in connection with the case.

Originally from Westchester County, New York, Carney moved to Ireland in 2021 seeking a fresh start for herself and her 13-year-old child. Authorities say she died from suffocation after suffering head injuries during an assault late Monday night or early Tuesday morning, July 6-7, 2026. Her body was discovered the following afternoon.

State Pathologist Dr. Linda Mulligan determined the cause through postmortem examination, as reported by The Irish Times. While initial impressions pointed to fatal beating injuries, the official findings clarified suffocation as the mechanism of death.

Irish Gardaí are treating the case as murder. They seek a 28-year-old man from the Middle East identified as the primary suspect: an asylum seeker known to Carney who had been living in Ireland since around 2024. Reports indicate he fled the country hours after the incident, boarding a flight from Dublin Airport to Turkey before her body was even found.

Carney had settled in the scenic town of Killarney, drawn by family heritage ties to County Kerry. Friends described her as someone who embraced her new community while working in healthcare consulting.

This case has drawn attention to questions around asylum processes and integration, as authorities continue international efforts to locate the suspect.
