A Queens woman who was struck in the head with a rock in a random attack the day after Thanksgiving died last week, her family confirmed during a news conference Tuesday.
Police were investigating the incident as a hate crime.
At the time, Perez was arrested and charged with first and second-degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Ma was survived by her husband, a son and two grandchildren.Hundreds of New Yorkers rallied in Chinatown against the rise in violent crime against Asian-Americans. Ma's family held out hope for a recovery after she responded with movements when prompted by her husband in the hospital."On the day I went to the hospital to visit her I noticed that day her right hand could move, and also her right leg could move a little bit on that very day," said Gao.
Former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch, a member of the law firm representing the Ma family, addressed the media during the briefing."We are here today to support them in their loss but also to shed a light in the rise of hate crimes we are seeing across this city and across this country," said Lynch. "This has lead to unimaginable pain and loss in so many communities."
