Investigation finds no evidence of hate crime in killing of synagogue president
Detroit police have stated that there is currently no evidence to suggest that the killing of synagogue president Samantha Woll was a hate crime. While investigators have not yet identified a theory or motivation for her murder, they have ruled out a home invasion. No individuals have been classified as suspects yet, but investigators are looking into people within Woll's circle of acquaintances. The murder has raised concerns about antisemitism and Islamophobia, but police have discounted religious hatred as a motive. The Jewish Federation has assured the community that there are no specific or credible threats at this time.
