Hussain Saeed Alnahdi (at right), a junior from Saudi Arabia majoring in business administration, died Monday from injuries he sustained in an assault that occurred shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday near a pizza restaurant in downtown Menomonie, Wis., according to a statement from the university. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that the police chief for the city of Menomonie said in a Wednesday press conference that authorities have not identified a suspect or motive for the assault, but have not ruled out the possibility it was a hate crime.
