Tashiya was taken to a hospital for treatment, but her little sister Nia passed away on the scene. Witnesses describe the suspect as a 5’9″ white male, who is heavy set with short blonde hair in his 20s or 30s.

As of now, there is no reported motive for the stabbing, but this definitely sounds like a hate crime. Nia’s dad spoke to reporters about the tragic incident.
