Lena Hernandez is now an infamous figure around the world as videos of her violent verbal assaults against two Asian Americans in Torrance, California went viral. Her racist tirades and death treats sent shock waves throughout the Asian community and beyond, but what added fuel to the fire is the discovery that Hernandez had physically assaulted an Asian American woman last year. However, the case went nowhere. As a journalist, May had to start investigating these similar incidents and dig into what was behind the lack of action on the part of Torrance Police and city officials. Her call to action triggered a wave of demands, but there’s still plenty of mystery that shrouds the Lena Hernandez case. May got an exclusive interview will Kayceelyn Salminao, who was violently attacked by Hernandez in October of 2019. Her detailed account of what happened then, what she’s still dealing with now and the lack of transparency by officials are eye opening.
