A mother of two, Nilufa Easmin, was killed by a man wielding a hammer outside a convenience store in Fort Myers, Florida, earlier this month. The suspect, Rolbert Joachin, was charged with murder after officials said he repeatedly struck the women with a hammer in what they described as a targeted attack. The incident was captured on a gruesome video and circulated by the Department of Homeland Security. The victim's identity has been withheld due to Marsy's Law, which protects the victim's privacy rights and identity. Joachain, who entered the US in 2022 and had temporary protected status until the Trump administration revoked his protections last week, is being held without bond and is scheduled to be arraigned on May 4.
