According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, in the early morning hours of Dec. 8, a woman was walking to work in the area of Brea Canyon Road and Sapphire Lane when she was approached by a man who asked to borrow her cell phone.

When she told him no, he walked away upset, the sheriff’s department reports. About five minutes later, he snuck up on the woman from behind, put her in a choke hold and dragged her about 100 yards into bushes on the side of the road, where he sexually assaulted her while threatening her with a pocket knife, the sheriff’s department said.

The homeowner, Lillian Rucker, says she now no longer feels welcome in this community.

“That is a symbol of hate to me, to black people,” she said. “I’ve been here 26 years! Never had an issue with anyone, never had a problem with anyone.”

Rucker says it was her son who first found the noose on Saturday morning.

“I was blown away at it! Absolutely blown away,” said Justin Pickette, Rucker’s son. And once the shock wore off, they both felt anger and sadness.

The Rucker family did call the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which has handed this over to a Hate Crimes Task Force.

And although this family doesn’t know why it happened, Rucker made it clear: she’s not leaving the community she loves.

“I’m not planning on moving. I’m not going anywhere. We’ve been here 26 years and will be here through the duration,” she said.
