The murder of a synagogue president in Detroit, Michigan this weekend was not caused by antisemitism, according to police.
They cannot say the actual motive yet because suggest they are certain it has nothing to do with the war being waged on Israel by Hamas.
“There was no signs of forced entry… we believe that this incident was not motivated by antisemitism.”

NEW: Detroit Police say the homicide of Samantha Woll, a synagogue president, was not motivated by antisemitism, based on the investigation they have conducted.
Police Chief James White says "we are confident" in that assessment.

I hope police are right in their assessment. This is one reason I didn’t post it this weekend, because I didn’t know if it was related to the war on Israel and it was too easy to jump to that conclusion.
May Samantha Woll rest in peace.
