The case is being investigated by the San Diego Sheriff’s Department as a hate crime. Anyone with information pertaining to this incident is encouraged to call the Department’s Poway Station at (858) 513-2800.
ADL staff stood with the victims at an impromptu community vigil in Poway on the night of December 3. Regional Director Tammy Gillies reinforced that support Tuesday, stating that, “We hope this reward encourages people to report whatever they may know about whomever is behind this hateful act of vandalism. We commend the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department for its swift and thorough approach to this investigation, which is still ongoing. We cannot allow such acts of hate, or the prejudice which underlies them, to take place in San Diego County or anywhere else. No one should be targeted or made to feel like they don’t belong simply because of their religion, race, skin color, country of origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity. ADL is here to help.”
