Elias Abuelazam

Sonntag, 29. August 1976

Elias Abuelazam (Arabic: الياس أبو العظام, Hebrew: אליאס אבו אל עזאם, born August 29, 1976) is an Arab-Israeli convicted murderer, and a suspect of racially-motivated serial killings and stabbings. He is suspected in a string of eighteen stabbing attacks from May to August 2010 which resulted in five deaths. Most of the alleged attacks occurred in Genesee County, Michigan (particularly in and around Flint). Five stabbings occurred elsewhere: three in Leesburg, Virginia, one in Toledo, Ohio, and one in his native home in Ramla, Israel. All of his alleged victims were described as "small framed" (e.g. short, thin, non-muscular) men, most of them African Americans.
