According to a prominent Syrian activist, Rami Jarrah, among thousand of Syrian citizen journalists al-Sayed was one that stood out. Jarrah told NPR news about the Dangerous conditions under which he worked: "He was documenting stuff that no one could actually get hold of. I don’t want to say this was expected, but he was always in those situations where you could expect something would happen to him." He was filming when he was shot and his final minutes were caught on camera. This footage caused grief to many that admired him and followed his work.
