New records suggest that Shaima Alawadi’s murder was not a hate crime.
She was planning a divorce from her husband and move to Texas.
In March Kassim Alhimidi appealed to the local community to help find his wife’s killer.
The family told reporters yesterday the mysterious killer snuck through the garden and into the back door and murdered Shaima Alawadi in a hate crime,
“The first hit her on her forehead then on her right ear. The third strike was on the back of her head. This was followed by five fast and consecutive strikes on her head and shoulders.”
And, then the killer, according to the family, left a threatening note at the scene of the crime.

But now we know Shaima wanted a divorce.
UT San Diego reported:
Search warrant records obtained Wednesday in the beating death of an Iraqi-American woman show a family in turmoil and cast doubt on the likelihood that her slaying was a hate crime.
Shaima Alawadi, a 32-year-old mother of five, was apparently planning to divorce her husband and move to Texas when she was killed, a family member told investigators, according to the court documents.
The records, filed in El Cajon Superior Court, also reveal Alawadi’s 17-year-old daughter, Fatima Alhimidi, who called 911 to report the attack, was distraught over her pending arranged marriage to a cousin.
Last fall, police contacted Alawadi when her daughter and a 21-year-old man were caught possibly having sex in a parked car, according to the search warrant affidavit.
A search of Fatima’s cellphone records shows that while she was being interviewed by investigators hours after the attack, someone sent the teen a text message that read, “The detective will find out tell them (can’t) talk,” the affidavit states.
Fatima and her mother were the only ones at their Skyview Street home when the attack occurred about 11 a.m. on March 21. Alawadi’s husband, Kassim Alhimidi, had reportedly left to take the couple’s other younger children to school, although police state in the March 27 affidavit that his whereabouts had not yet been confirmed.
Fatima told El Cajon police that she heard her mother squeal, and 10 seconds later heard the sound of glass breaking, the affidavit said. She told police she thought her mother had dropped a plate. Ten minutes later, the daughter discovered her mother lying unconscious on the ground, near a computer, and called 911.

We are way past due with an immigration ban on the moon-god worshippers. They add nothing of value to our society and refuse to integrate into our society. WE couldn’t be so lucky.

Sooooooo…..the liberal nutjobs calling this a hate crime, when its not. FACEPALM.
And…..the liberal racist nutjobs so did want Zimmerman-Trayvon to go their way, buuuuut….
— they wanted Zimmerman to be a GOP white dude who loves McCain, but he’s an Obama-supporting Hispanic Democrat. FACEPALM.
— they wanted it to be a hate crime. Nope…it was self defense. FACEPALM.
— they wanted Zimmerman to say “coon” on the 911 call. Nope….blitzer just found out Zimmeran said “it’s f—-ing COLD”. FACEPALM.
— they wanted Trayvon to be an innocent kid. Nope, he was suspended from school for criminal activity. FACEPALM.
— they wanted Zimmeran to be a white supremist. Nope, he is Hispanic, and defended another black man from police brutaliity in a previous case. FACEPALM.
Again and again and again, the liberal democrat nutjobs point fingers at others at being racist, when, in fact, THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE TRUE RACISTS.
And, with these multiple facepalms, JUST PLAIN STUPID.
Honestly, really, you liberal nutjobs who are reading this, are you really this stupid that you want to stay a Democrat? REALLY????

If in Iraq, Kassim would BOAST of his proud honor for Allah in killing his wife, and Kassim would be a free and celebrated man in the community…..Since such honesty puts Kassim in prison for life in the US…, he shows the true cowardice of his ” honor killing ” by blaming the murder on a white hispanic neighborhood watchman.

If it was an “Honor Killing”?
It was a”hate crime”.
Where is N.O.W. on this story?

Threadworthy. Local to GP. Officer shot in the face, nobody comes to assist.
The Wild West was tame.
Frank Scarn commented:
The muzzie wife of the muzzie who ran the “Bridges” TV station in Buffalo, NY, was also seeking to divorce the muzzie husband. He lured her to the station where he decapitated her.
This El Cajon murder was a revenge murder by the muzzie husband, probably with help from other muslims.
How dare a muslim wife divorce her owner using American divorce laws.
Lies, lies, lies,

#6…do you think the same person that killed nicole simpson could have killed this guy’s wife? both murders happened in california. maybe CAIR could offer a dual reward for the capture of this serial killer.

Math isn’t my strong suit — but Mama was 32 when she was killed and the daughter is 17?

Shocking/.
It is shocking that the left picks up these stories hoping that it is the one that will prove that the evil white Republican is the root of all the world’s ills.
It is shocking that they haven’t given up yet.
