San Francisco police have reopened a case from 2023 in which a woman died after being pushed to the ground.
Authorities are revisiting the case after the person initially suspected in that fatal incident was arrested last week for assaulting a 71-year-old Chinese woman in a separate case.Police arrested 43-year-old Thea Hopkins in the recent assault and are investigating whether she was involved in the July 2023 death of Yanfang Wu, who was pushed to the ground in the Bayview District and later died.
"There's nothing about these new allegations and charges that change the fact that the district attorney and police deemed the 2023 incident as an accident," said Kathleen Natividad from the San Francisco Public Defender's Office.Civil rights attorney and spokesperson for the Asian Justice Movement, Charles Jung, said that the community lost faith in the police following last year's case.
