A California hate crime murder that sparked an international uproar may have been a killing within the family, as police turn their investigation to her husband and teen daughter.

The Iraqi family was troubled by relationship issues before Shaima Alawadi, 32, a mother of five was beaten to death in her California home, according to newly released documents that contain little evidence the killing was a hate crime.
Alawadi, 32, planned to divorce her husband and move to Texas, according to search warrant records obtained by U-T San Diego.
And the victim's 17-year-old daughter was apparently distraught over the prospect of an arranged marriage to her cousin.
In addition, a suspicious text message led police to take a look at the woman's daughter, who reportedly had a strained relationship with Ms Alawadi.

While police interviewed her after the attack, she got a text message reading: 'The detective will find out tell them (can't) talk,' according to the search warrant affidavit.

The newly uncovered documents show that Ms Alawadi was contacted in November after officers caught her daughter, Fatima Alhimidi, 17, having sex with a 21-year-old man in a parked car.
The records state that after Alawadi had picked up the teen following the incident, Fatima jumped out of her mother’s car as she was driving away at speeds of up to 35 mph.

Police have reportedly searched the home of the man that Fatima had the vehicle tryst with, and have removed items from his home in their investigation.
The victim and her family left Iraq in the early 1990s after a failed Shiite uprising.
They lived in Saudi Arabian refugee camps before coming to the U.S., said Imam Husham Al-Husainy of the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center in Dearborn, Mich. Saddam Hussein's troops hanged Alawadi's uncle.
The family arrived in the Detroit area in 1993 and later moved to San Diego.

Shaima Alawadi was a religious Shiite Muslim who wore a hijab, said Al-Husainy, a family friend, and her father, Sayed Nabeel Alawadi, is a cleric in Iraq.
