It’s been six weeks since a Saudi Arabian student at the University of Wisconsin-Stout was attacked and killed near campus, and though police have a suspect no charges have been filed.
Hussain Saeed Alnahdi, 24, was found unconscious in the early hours of Oct. 30, near a late-night pizza shop in Menomonie. He was bleeding from his nose and mouth and died the next day at an Eau Claire hospital.
On Nov. 18, police announced they had a suspect who was not a UW-Stout student and didn’t live in Menomonie. No arrest was made with police saying the suspect posed no danger to the community. It was also determined the killing was not a hate crime.
