Her host mother, Joleen Cogburn, recalled asking Sheikh why she came to study in the U.S. She said she wanted to learn American culture and to share Pakistani culture with Americans. Fisher repeatedly told him that she wasn't interested in going out with him, but that did not stop the suspect from approaching her. In the hours after the violence, he said that reducing the number of entrances at the high school and others like it could have stopped the shooter, a remark that drew jeers on social media from gun-control advocates and others. "Even in her death, she is pulling the relationships between Pakistan and the United States, specifically the Houston area, even closer", said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, according to USA Today.

Sabika Sheikh, 17, was a foreign exchange student from Pakistan studying at the high school as part of the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program, the Pakistan Embassy in Washington confirmed in a statement.
