Story summary

On September 18, Diana Gonzalez, a 36-year-old woman, was walking to a convenience store near her workplace in downtown Seattle when she encountered Kamilia Chadli. The encounter turned violent as Chadli threw a food wrapper at Gonzalez and used racist and homophobic slurs before assaulting her. During the attack, Chadli bit out a circular piece of flesh from Gonzalez’s forehead about an inch in diameter, leaving her with injuries resembling "zombie bites" seen in movies.

Gonzalez was hospitalized due to severe injuries and will require surgery for permanent scars. She learned that Chadli was homeless at the time of the incident. Police reports indicated Chadli had a history of mental health issues and substance abuse. Chadli has been charged with felony second-degree assault, but prosecutors are considering adding hate crime charges given the use of derogatory slurs during the attack.

The case highlights increasing concerns over violent incidents involving homeless individuals in urban areas and raises questions about adequate support for those dealing with mental health issues and substance abuse.
