Letter to the Editor: Latest Compton murder was no hate crime
Dear 2UrbanGirls,
As a long-time Compton resident I am sorry to hear about Sia Marie Xiong losing her life to senseless gun violence. We are praying for her son and family, however, it is hard to believe she was a victim of a “hate crime”.
If you live in the second district, you are well aware that her death occurred not too far from an area known for sex trafficking. No one can explain why she was out at nearly 6am in the morning.
Haven’t you noticed that none of the city’s leaders have spoken on this? Perhaps linking it to a possible hate crime, against an Asian, is an easy way out for the family to conclude why she was so far from her home, and her three-year old son.
Continue to pray for Compton.
District 2 Strong
It was a hate crime it was racial and not because she was Asian it was because she was black there’s a war that’s being swept u set the rug especially in that area when it comes to Hispanics and blacks the Mexicans who are dominant in Los Angeles do not want Africa Americans or any race that’s not Mexican living near them
The way this is written is so wack. Like u care more about the narrative than her life. I understand this may have not been a hate crime but it’s like ur arguing about the way the speak about her death and not her actual death and How it’s tragic nonetheless. It’s possible she was a sex worker but why not elaborate and connect the dots. And the residents who live off the Compton pledge ? How does that add to the story ? What was the point of inserting that information?
I totally agree
Urban fools just want some attention. “Desperately “.
Let’s wait for the Sheriff’s to complete their investigation. Unless you were a witness, you have no idea why this happened.
Thank you Mr. Ray!!!
