Hussain Saeed Alnahdi was a student at University of Wisconsin-Stout. Alnahid joined the university in 2015 after moving from Buraydah, Saudi Arabia.

He was studying Business administration.

On October 30, 2016, Alnahdi died from injuries he received during an attack shortly after 2 a.m. in downtown Menomonie, Wisconsin, near Topper's Pizza.

Alnahdi was outside the restaurant in the early hours of Sunday morning when he was assaulted by a suspect police described as a white male about six feet tall. Police found Alnahdi unconscious and bleeding from his mouth and nose.

Police said in a statement that they have not made any arrests or identified a motive, but they are treating the incident as a homicide.

Alnahdi's death stoked fears that the assault may have been racially motivated. Anyone with information, even second hand, about the assault is asked to call the Menomonie Police Department at 715-231-8511.
