University of Wisconsin-Stout Student From Saudi Arabia Killed
Source: NBC
The night Hussain Saeed Alnahdi was attacked started out just like any other weekend in Menomonie, Wisconsin, a college town. Bars had just let out for the night as students wrapped up an evening of carousing. But Alnahdi, a Saudi student attending the University of Wisconsin-Stout would never make it home.
He was attacked and left bloodied in the street near Topper's Pizza, a restaurant in downtown Menomonie around 2 a.m. (3 a.m. ET) on Sunday, according to police. Alnahdi, 24, has since died following the weekend attack. No arrests have been made and investigators are treating the incident as a homicide, the Menomonie Police Department said in a statement issued Monday.
Detectives were still searching for a motive on Tuesday. Witnesses told police the assailant was a white male about six feet tall. "The motivation of the offender is unknown at this time," Commander Todd Swartz of the Menomonie Police Department told NBC News. "It can't be confirmed at this time whether this was a hate crime."
And the university community where Alnahdi studied is searching for meaning in the death of a young man who a classmate described to NBC News as "a quiet guy". Alnahdi was a junior majoring in business administration and had arrived at University of Wisconsin-Stout last year, school Chancellor Bob Meyer said in a statement.
