What we know about the Fort Myers hammer killing, victim Nilufa Easmin and suspect Rolbert Joachin | CNN

A mother of two was killed by a man wielding a hammer outside a convenience store in Florida earlier this month, seen in a gruesome video that has captured the attention of the nation — and the president. A Haitian national, 40-year-old Rolbert Joachin, was charged with murder after officials said he repeatedly struck the women with a hammer in what they described as a targeted attack. Though the victim did not know Joachin, they had a previous encounter, police said. As the victim’s community reckons with a senseless act of violence, President Donald Trump has seized on it to push an immigration agenda that would remove protections for hundreds of thousands. Video of the incident, which took place the morning of April 2, circulating online and shared by the Department of Homeland Security shows a man repeatedly hitting a car parked in the gas station’s parking lot with an object that appears to be a hammer. When a woman exits the store and approaches the man, appearing to speak to him, he walks toward her and strikes her with the object in his hand. The woman falls onto the sidewalk before he strikes her another six times on her head and torso and walks away. Police received
