Investigation Into Alleged Hate Crime Ongoing in Death of Pro-Israel Protester: Ventura County Prosecutor

Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko on Friday announced no hate crime charges have been filed in the death of a pro-Israel protester Paul Kessler. 50-year-old Loay Abdelfattah Alnaji is being prosecuted for involuntary manslaughter in the death, which was the result of an altercation between the two men at a protest over the Israel-Hamas War in Thousand Oaks, a suburb of Los Angeles. Nassarenko acknowledged they have not ruled out calling the incident a hate crime and said the investigation is "ongoing." Source: Associated Press
