In July of last year, 63-year-old Yanfang Wu died from her injuries after police say she was pushed to the ground in the Bayview neighborhood by 43-year-old Thea Hopkins.
No arrests were made as officers initially said it was an accident.
But then last week, police arrested Hopkins for violently assaulting a 71-year-old Chinese woman.
Upon hearing that news, activists in the Asian community demanded police re-open the case from last summer.
This weekend, Mayor London Breed met with members of the city's Asian American community.
