El Cajon police ask public's help to solve Iraqi woman's beating death

Shaima Alawadi was a Iraqi immigrant who was fount unconscious in her dining room. Her 17 year old daughter was the first one to find her and call police. The Alawadi family say that the husband left earlier to take their youngest children to school. Near this perfectly healthy 32 year old women had a warning note laying next to her. Officials would not show the note to the public, instead the family came out and said the note said "Go back to where you came from". The family said they received another note the day before saying the same thing but the family took it as a prank from teenagers or something. She was taken to the hospital and her family were told she was diagnosed as brain dead. Her family decided it was best to take her off life support. The puzzling question is why was this women murdered and who wrote the note left next to her body as she laid brain dead.The immigrant community in eastern San Diego County is in shock over the killing. They are devastated to have lost one of their people. Hanif Mohebi, executive director of the San Diego has estimated about 330,000 to 40,000 immigrants from Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries have moved to El Cajon. Alawadi and her husband, Kassim Alhimidi, immigrated to the United States in the mid-1990s. They have 2 sons and 3 daughters from ages 7-18. Police Officials and the Alawadi family are concerned that this terrorist act on this innocent women is a hate crime. Hopefully they will get to bottom of this and stop other  attacks like this from happening to other families.
