This 68-year old jewelry shop owner was pistol-whipped & hit in the head w/a hammer 9/15 in DE.
Son Steve told me he wants to spread awareness b/c “I’m thinking ab my family’s safety & safety of Korean biz owners.”
He spoke w/@nydia_han & @6abc covering 🧵⬇️ #StopAAPIHate
(2/3) Steve est. the jewelry taken was valued at around $100K.
Wilmington PD say they arrested 39-y/o Calvin Ushery who is now in custody on a $130K cash-only bail.
Steve added dad spent multiple nights in the ICU for brain/head trauma & has delayed speech & can’t walk.
Note: the rest of the vid is too graphic & triggering for Steve’s family. It shows the suspect smashing & stealing for 20 mins.
Steve set up a @gofundme to pay for med bills & to help dad retire. Excess funds will go to nonprofits fighting #stopaapihate bit.ly/3dKHGLb

To those who feel like nobody is listening, never forget: all it takes is 1 for the domino effect to begin.
