None
A suspect has been arrested, police said on Friday, in the slaying of a University of Wisconsin student from Saudi Arabia who was reported to have been fatally beaten outside a pizzeria in the college town of Menomonie in late October.
The victim, Hussain Saeed Alnahdi, 24, was assaulted in the early morning hours of Oct. 30 on a downtown street near the UW-Stout campus in western Wisconsin, and died of his injuries the next day at a hospital in nearby Eau Claire, according to school officials.
Alnahdi, from Buraydah, Saudia Arabia, was a junior undergraduate student majoring in business administration. He began attending the university in Menomonie in 2015, UW-Stout Chancellor Bob Meyer said.
Authorities released little information about the circumstances of his slaying. But local media, citing a criminal complaint filed in the case, said police responding to a fight outside Topper's Pizza in Menomonie found Alnahdi unconscious and bleeding from the nose and mouth.
