64-year old Ms. Hu (right) was stabbed to death in her Duboce Triangle apartment Friday AM.

Family says the man arrested, 41-year old Jesus Esparza lived in the unit right nextdoor.

Ms. Hu’s niece says she was just trying to get her mail. 🧵⬇️ #sanfrancisco Image
The senior tried to escape but succumbed to her injuries. Nobody saw her until about an hour later.

“I want ppl to know my aunt was very brave & she did what she could try & survive” says her niece.

According to fam Ms. Hu & Esparza had never spoken b/c of language barrier. Image
Ms. Hu’s son says he wants to tell his story b/c he worries the suspect in the case will be released & doesn’t want his mother to “die for nothing”.

Neice Shan says her murder shouldn’t just be a # but a “be a reminder we have severe problems in our society in #sanfrancisco “
Esparza was arrested & booked on charges including murder & resisting arrest.

He appears to still be in the jail system. Investigation is ongoing.

There is more to this story…waiting on some calls back. Stay tuned… #RIP #sanfrancisco Image

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

Lee’s Sandwiches gets vandalized & broken into regularly. @tl_merchants says hundreds of $ of items get stolen/damaged each time.

#SanFrancisco #AAPI
🧵 ⬇️
Rene Colorado Ex. Dir of @tl_merchants says ambassadors (who now wear bulletproof vests aft getting a gun pulled on them) patrol daily & have been successful in deterring crime 9-6.

But crooks have figured out they can break in b4 or after they leave for the day #SanFrancisco
Renee says “the sense in the community is that the Asian community is an easy target…ur not going to get hurt ur not going to get caught & there are no consequences. It’s been kind of lk a free for all so we’re on edge, the community has been on edge for months.” #StopAAPIHate

Warning: I’ve seen many attacks but this incident is next-level heinous.

1 suspect asks her for the time. She shows her ⌚️ b/c she doesn’t speak Engl. She realizes the group is “up to no good” so she runs into the elevator.

The susps follow her & search her. They find an iPhone7. When Mrs. Ren refuses to give it up, she’s assaulted. #StopAsianHate
When the 4 take her phone & leave Mrs. Ren tries to hide in a nearby hallway.

But the susps come back AGAIN & take her keys. They do not touch her earrings or watch. She has no wallet

The 4 appear to take turns attacking her. She couldn’t get out of bed today. #StopAAPIHate

𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 ⚠️ this video provided to me by Kon “Patrick” Fung’s family is stunning & disturbing.

2 suspects approach 52-y/o Fong & demand he get out. When he doesn’t he is shot & killed.

The whole thing took less than 5 secs Sunday AM.

(Thread ⬇️) #StopAAPIHate #Oakland
Patrick drove for Uber. “It’s b/c of his job, his hard work that he got killed.”

This crime happened close to Little Saigon which has been hit hard by crime & violence.

“Why us? We are hard working…why are we being targeted over and over again?” said Judy. #StopAAPIHate
This family is demanding changes. Fung’s brother Ivan says:

“There’s far too much gun violence. If the gvt can put 2gether restrictions on gun control it’ll help our society.”

This @gofundme was set up to help w/funeral expenses bit.ly/3B3rXQH

This 90-year old w/dementia was home w/2 grandsons when men jumped over a fence & entered the sunroom in an attempted home invasion.

This is 1 of 5 sim incidents I’ve reported on in 2 wks in S. San Jose.

“I felt like I failed to secure the home.” Says 1 grandson. Thread ⬇️
The crooks left the crowbar they’re holding in the backyard. Nobody was hurt in this incident.

The same day tho an 83-y/o grandpa was not so lucky. He was at home during a home invasion robbery & hit on the head & taken to the hospital.

#StopAAPIHate abc7ne.ws/3MS0e7K
Just yesterday 2 men (at least 1 dressed like a mail carrier) invaded the home of a couple in their 60’s.

Their daughter said the men pistol-whipped her mom twice & held dad against his will.

You can see one man pull out a long object f/his bag. abc7ne.ws/3MS0e7K

Little Saigon in Oakland is under attack DAILY.

Now dozens of mostly refugee-owned business owners say they want the city to stop ignoring the robberies, arsons, break-ins & attacks.

“When did my life become so undervalued?” says Lele Quach.

(Thread ⬇️) #StopAAPIHate
This woman owns a cigarette store & says she’s been robbed 7xs. A truck also rammed into her shop. You can still see tire marks.

Trinh Le even sleeps on the floor of his jewelry store because he’s has 10 break-ins in one year & has to be his own security guard. #StopAsianHate
Nearly two dozen business owners met w/me today to share their stories & videos hoping the city will pay attention to Little Saigon like they do to Chinatown.

Here is the Quickly being robbed.

They want cameras, volunteer patrols, more police presence. abc7ne.ws/3QmAMKL
