On February 21, a member of the Homs Media Center was killed by a rocket as Syrian forces continued their bombardment of the city for an eighteenth straight day. Rami al-Sayed was reported to have been severely injured by a rocket while attempting to evacuate individuals to a makeshift hospital, during what activists call the worst day of bombardment since Syrian forces began their attack on the city on February 4. According to Bambuser, he and three others were inside a car when it was hit by a mortar, immediately killing the others. Sayed bled to death at the hospital.<!--CONFIRMED: pizero-->
Sayed was a videographer "crucial in getting the truth out through his videos posted on the Internet. We will really miss him, especially the medical team who relied on him to document all the civilian injuries and deaths on video," said Omar in an interview with {{w|CNN}}. Sayed also was one of the men affiliated with the account 'syriapioneer' on Bambuser. <!-- http://blog.bambuser.com/2012/02/we-mourn-loss-of-very-brave-syrian.html -->Like Omar, he would broadcast live footage of the events on the ground in Homs. <!-- NPR, CNN February 21-->Bambuser published the last known message sent out to friends and family: "''Babaamr is facing a genocide right now. I will never forgive you for your silence. You all have just give us your words but we need actions. However our hearts will always be with those who risk their life for our freedom. ... In a few hours there will be NO place called BabaAmr and I expect this will be my last message and no one will forgive you who talked but didn't act.''"<!--Bambuser February 21--> Sayed, 26, had a daughter of 18 months. In December, a citizen-journalist cousin of Sayed's, [[Two Syrian journalists killed around New Year's Day|Basil al-Sayed]], was also killed. <!--NPR February 21-->In a statement to ''{{w|Wikinews}}'' Omar described Sayed as "my best friend" and they both have worked as citizen journalists <!-- in the Homs Media Center, a house converted into a newsroom, -->for about "10 months", around the beginning of the uprisings. <!--Skype conversation--><!--CONFIRMED: pizero-->
