35-Year-Old Christina Yuna Lee Stabbed to Death in New York's Chinatown
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York City, a suspect has been arrested in the fatal stabbing
of a 35-year-old woman Sunday inside her apartment. The man had followed
Christina Yuna Lee from the street and into her building. Lee is the
latest victim in a string of anti-Asian hate crimes in New York and
around the country that have intensified since the beginning of the
pandemic. Assemblymember Yuh-Line Niou, who represents Lee's district,
decried the mounting violence and called Sunday's killing a "worst
nightmare scenario." Lee was a Rutgers University graduate and worked
for a digital music platform.
