San Francisco city leaders are responding to calls for transparency in the investigation into a deadly attack of a Chinese immigrant.

Community members with the Asian Justice Movement gathered at a rally Saturday night to demand action in the case of 63-year-old Yanfang Wu.

Wu was pushed on a sidewalk in San Francisco’s Bayview neighborhood last July and later died from her injuries. Police ruled the incident an accident and no arrests were made. But the group said the person accused of pushing Wu was later arrested for a violent assault on a 71-year-old Chinese woman last week.Activists said they are demanding police release video from Wu's incident and that it's investigated as a homicide and possible hate crime."I believe in transparency and stand with the API community for justice for all victims and survivors of hate incidents. As soon as possible, I want the video released,” she said.
