Reward raised in case of Hofstra student attacked with acid

"We believe that the suspect is from the community. It could be from the Muslim side of the community. It could be from any other part of the community of Elmont," Commissioner Patrick Ryder said at a press briefing in Mineola on Wednesday.

Ikram's story has touched so many people, including neighbors who created a GoFundMe campaign to help her. It raised more than $500,000. Ikram and her parents don't believe the attack was a hate crime. They believe it was personal and not based on religion, though they can't figure out a motive. A Hofstra spokesperson, Neena Samuel, issued a statement on behalf of the university after the attack.
