A 32-year-old mother of five, Shaima Alawadi was found unconscious on March 21 in the family's home in El Cajon with a note reportedly reading: "Go back to your country, you terrorist."
She was taken off life support three days later.
No suspects have been identified or apprehended so far.
Dozens of people, including officials and tribal figures, gathered on March 31 at the Najaf airport to receive Alawadi's body.

Alawadi’s family reportedly came to the United States from Iraq in the mid-1990s.
