ATLANTA, Ga., Mar. 8 – AAHOA President & CEO Cecil P. Staton issued a statement in response to the murder of Elkton, MD, hotel owner Ushaben Patel and the wounding of her husband Dilipbhai Patel:

“America's hotel owners are shocked and outraged by this senseless act of violence against two small business owners doing their jobs. We offer our deepest sympathies to Dilipbhai Patel and his family, and our community is mourning with them today. Attacks against hoteliers continue to increase, and this is yet another horrendous episode of violence against Asian Americans that is plaguing our society. It must stop now."
