Authorities released a sketch of the Stanford hate crime hit-and-run suspect who they say intentionally ran over student Abdulwahab Omira.
After days of investigating, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office says they’re looking for this unidentified man.
The suspect is believed to have committed a hate crime after deputies say he intentionally ran over a Stanford student named Abdulwahab Omira in a crosswalk on campus last Friday.
The suspect’s vehicle was described as a black Toyota SUV with a tire mounted on the rear of the vehicle. The Toyota SUV should have front passenger side bumper damage from the collision.
“Great person to be around. Always smiling. Always happy. Overall just a really nice guy,” said a fellow Stanford student who wished to remain anonymous.
The unnamed student has been protesting the Israel-Hamas war on the university’s campus for about three weeks.
He says he knows Omira personally and went to go visit him in the hospital after the incident.
“He’s recovering, he’s in good spirits. I went and saw him in the hospital. He was in a lot of pain physically,” the student said.
