Loay Alnaji, a California man, pleaded not guilty to charges related to the death of pro-Israel protester Paul Kessler following an altercation at dueling pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel protests.

The Ventura County District Attorney's Office in California has stated that the death of a pro-Israel protester does not currently meet the elements of a hate crime, though the investigation is ongoing.

A man has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of Paul Kessler, a Jewish pro-Israel activist.
