A 32-year-old Iraqi immigrant died on Saturday, after being beaten earlier in the week. Shaima Alawadi was found by her daughter at 11:15 a.m. on Wednesday at their home in El Cajon, California, after being hit over the head with a tire iron. Reportedly, a note found nearby read, “Go back to your own country. You’re a terrorist.” Alawadi was taken off life support on Saturday afternoon and she died shortly after. A police official said, “A hate crime is one of the possibilities and we will be looking at that.”
