A woman accused of attacking a 91-year-old Mexican man with a concrete brick has been charged with attempted murder.
Laquisha Jones, 30, was arraigned Thursday at the Los Angeles County Superior Court and stood behind her lawyer, away from TV cameras. She was also charged with elder abuse, infliction of injury.
Jones entered a not guilty plea, reported CNN affiliate KCAL.
She was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of beating Rodolfo Rodriguez, 91, on July 4.
Rodriguez said he had been walking to a park when he passed a woman and a girl. The woman assaulted him without warning, hitting him with a concrete brick and enlisting a group of men to beat him, he said.
"I didn't even bump into her kid," Rodriguez told CNN. "I just passed her and she pushed me and she hit me until she was done."
He suffered a broken jaw, broken cheekbones, two broken ribs and countless bruises, his family said. Rodriguez is recovering at his relatives' Willowbrook home south of Los Angeles.
Misbel Borjas was driving by when she saw the woman hitting Rodriguez repeatedly in the head with a concrete brick, she said.
"I heard her saying, go back to your country, go back to Mexico," she told CNN by phone. "When I tried to videotape her with my cell phone, she threw that same concrete block, tried to hit my car."
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a statement Wednesday that "detectives have discovered that this is not a hate-related incident."
The felony complaint alleges that "the defendant personally used a deadly and dangerous weapon, a brick, during the commission of the crime and that she committed great bodily injury upon the victim," according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

“Laquisha”. Hmmmmm....
“detectives have discovered that this is not a hate-related incident.”
Yeah, they really do think that we are stupid!
Laquisha sounds like some sort of food dish.
“detectives have discovered that this is not a hate-related incident.”
So I’m assuming a black can’t be charged with a hate crime?
When she told him to go back home to Mexico, it revealed what her mind-set was, and yes it was racially motivated. If you’re saying that to someone you know to be an illegal, and only doing that, it’s not racial. If you add in an attack with a concrete block, and you don’t even know if the person is a Mexican citizen, you’ve jumped the shark.
The Sheriff’s department is tripping over a two-foot in diameter log and at the same time saying, “What wood object?”
she’s a little lasquishy on good reasoning
Thank you, Obama/Holder, for an entire (nearly) race being completely out of control.
It’s not a hate crime only because the perp is black.
Any white person would be charged that way under similar circumstances.
I agree.
Or the sound of someone stepping on a food dish.
I think it sounds like something you stepped in out in the feed lot.
No arrests on the three or four dudes she enlisted to kick him around breaking his ribs after she took him out with the brick?
La”squeesha”
Laquisha Jones. Imagine if it had been a Brett, or a Donald or some other whitebread name. The media would be all over it! Hate crime! Evil! Lock up all Whites!!
But it’s a specially-privileged member of a government-certified victim group who is allowed to express her subhuman anger by attacking an innocent man.
May she be ripped to shreds by wolverines.
Good thing it wasn’t a hate crime.
If it were, something bad could have happened.
Read Facebook and Twitter and they will tell you this is Trump’s fault.
Right, so she did this out of love? This Sheriff department needs a visit from several IAs.
I did see a photo of her. She is a tank, stuffed into too tight clothes, and holding a concrete paver. Maybe a dry bologna sandwich for lunch for an extended period in jail will get rid of the blubber.

In spite of all the ‘people of color’ talk, blacks and Mexicans/Latinos really don’t get along. There is resentment by blacks that they are getting pushed out of their neighborhoods—sometimes violently by the newcomers. Latinos basically look upon blacks with contempt.
