David Wenwei Chou, who authorities say holds a grudge against Taiwan, was seen in a photo with a banner demanding ‘the annihilation of separatist demons.’
Gu Yawen, president of the Las Vegas China Peaceful Reunification Promotion organization, told Taiwan’s Central News Agency that Chou was “uninvited” and she felt that his beliefs were too extreme, so she kept a distance from him.
Any involvement by the suspect in an organization will be part of the investigation,” Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Carrie Braun, said. “We are not disclosing what, if any, organizations may be involved at this time.” After entering the U.S., Chou lived in numerous states including Florida and Texas before settling in Las Vegas, where he worked for various security firms and owned a four-plex off the strip.
He told the news organization he stabbed one of the assailants with a pair of scissors before losing consciousness. The attack left Chou with 30 more than stitches to his face, a broken elbow and partial deafness in one ear, according to the network report.
