San Francisco city leaders are responding to calls for transparency in the investigation into a deadly attack of a 63-year-old Chinese immigrant last year.
San Francisco city leaders are responding to calls for transparency in the investigation into a deadly attack on a Chinese immigrant.
Community members with the Asian Justice Movement gathered at a rally Saturday night to demand action in the case of Yanfang Wu, 63.
Wu was pushed on a sidewalk in San Francisco’s Bayview neighborhood in July and later died from her injuries. Police ruled the incident an accident, and no arrests were made.
But the group said the person accused of pushing Wu was later arrested in a violent assault on a 71-year-old Chinese woman last week.
Activists said that they are demanding police release video from Wu’s incident and that it’s investigated as a homicide and a possible hate crime.
