The murder took place near the house of Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, the former Deputy Commander of Iraq's Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces, who was killed on January 3 when US missiles targeted and killed former Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.
A police official told Iran's Mehr news agency that Dawoud and his daughter were "shot four times from the driver's side."
The source said Dawoud was a history teacher.
As of Sunday morning, the nature of Dawoud's role with Hezbollah and what he was doing in Tehran were still unclear.
