More from CNN:
A former model and DJ from Melbourne, described by his former agency as having a promising future, is the latest Australian believed to have been killed fighting alongside ISIS militants in Syria.
The parents of Sharky Jama, 25, were informed of their son’s death via a text message and phone call on Monday, said Hussein Harakow, president of the Somali Australian Council of Victoria.
“They’re very shocked and very disappointed,” said Harakow, who knows the Jama family.
He said Jama had disappeared along with another Somali-Australian, named in Australian media reports as former business student Yusuf Yusuf, in August last year.

But if only they had better jobs, they wouldn’t join ISIS, right?
If Jama’s death is confirmed, he would be the 20th Australian killed fighting for ISIS since 2012:
