Identity of Hate Crime Victim in Stanford Hit-and-Run Revealed
The victim of a hit-and-run hate crime at Stanford University has been identified as Abdulwahab Omira, a Syrian refugee and grad student. Witnesses reported that the driver intentionally sped up, made eye contact with Omira, and shouted threatening words before hitting him. Omira, who claims the attack was motivated by his Arab heritage and Islamic faith, suffered injuries and is experiencing complications. Students at Stanford have been protesting the Israel-Hamas conflict, and tensions are high on campus. The university has faced criticism for the delay in sending out an alert about the incident. The suspect, described as a white man in his mid-20s, is still at large.
