Computer Science Professor Loay Alnaji Questioned at Scene of Paul Kessler’s Death in California

Accident – Death – Obituary News : MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA: Loay Alnaji, a professor of computer science at Ventura Community College in California, has been questioned by authorities following the death of Paul Kessler. Kessler, a 69-year-old Jewish man, died less than 24 hours after sustaining a fatal head injury during dueling Israel-Hamas war protests in Thousand Oaks on Sunday, November 5.

During a press conference on Tuesday, Ventura County Sheriff Jim Fryhoff announced that Kessler’s death is being treated as a homicide. He also revealed that conflicting statements have been provided by the two opposing parties regarding the circumstances that led to Kessler’s fall. Fryhoff further stated that a 50-year-old man from Moorpark is currently under investigation as a suspect.

According to The New York Post, Alnaji was observed conversing with a female officer at the scene, who was seen taking a photo of his hands. In a video captured at the scene, the deputy asks Alnaji if he tried to hit the phone, to which he nods in affirmation. Although Alnaji was questioned at the scene, it remains unclear whether he is the same person currently under investigation, as the police have not released a name.

However, the Daily Mail has identified Alnaji as a person of interest. Law enforcement officials conducted a raid at his residence in Moorpark, California, on Sunday. Milli Revezzo, a neighbor, recounted her husband witnessing a SWAT team and six armed officers arriving in unmarked vehicles.

Public records reveal that Alnaji immigrated to the United States in the 1990s after working as a teacher in the United Arab Emirates. In 2007, he purchased a three-bedroom house in Moorpark, California, located 13 miles from the site of Kessler’s murder. Alnaji later married Nada Al Hammouri, a Palestinian economics professor, and they have three young children together. Alnaji obtained his PhD in business administration from Argosy University, which closed down in 2019 due to allegations of financial mismanagement and fraud.

Alnaji has expressed his support for the Palestinian cause through various Arabic messages on his Facebook page. In his latest post, he wrote, “O Allah, release the captivity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque… Sooner than later……..Oh Allah, don’t deprive us of praying in it before we die…” He has also shared a video featuring activist Shahid King Bolsen, who drew comparisons between Hamas and historical civil rights icons, further solidifying his strong backing for the Palestinian cause.

Paul Kessler tragically passed away on Monday, November 6, one day after falling backward and hitting his head during a clash between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian street protesters in California. Witnesses reported that Kessler was involved in a physical altercation with counter-protesters, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department. The Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that Kessler’s cause of death was a blunt force head injury, ruling it as a homicide. Some reports have suggested that Kessler may have been struck with a megaphone during a confrontation with a pro-Palestine protester.

As the investigation into Paul Kessler’s death continues, authorities are working to gather more evidence and statements from witnesses. The community is anxiously awaiting further updates regarding the case, which has sparked intense interest and raised questions about the safety and security of protests in the area.
