An
Iraqi immigrant and mother of five died Saturday of injuries from a severe beating in her El Cajon home, where a note warning the family to “go back to your own country†was left next to her.
El Cajon police said they are investigating the possibility of a
hate crime.
The attack on Shaima Alawadi, 32, has shocked and grieved Muslims and others in San Diego and beyond.
“People who have heard of it are numb,†said Hanif Mohebi, executive director of the San Diego chapter of the Council on Islamic-American Relations. “I have had communications from the San Francisco Bay Area asking, ‘how can I help this family,’ and even around the country people are praying for the family.
“Given the fact of these notes left, we’re obviously concerned about the possibility of a hate crime. I don’t think anyone would disagree this is a coldblooded murder.â€
