Original Note:
"Sahil Omar" is a false suspect name that has become a meme to post when a suspect's name is not known. Social media users have falsely blamed “Sahil Omar” for the January 2024 gas explosion in Texas, a November 2023 Rainbow Bridge crash, and multiple other incidents. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-fort-worth-explosion-sahil-omar-464462334777 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2024/01/10/sahil-omar-falsely-linked-to-fort-worth-hotel-explosion-fact-check/72167376007/ https://twitter.com/search?src=typed_query&q=from%3A%40laplswin%20sahil
