Nicholas Thalasinos, 52, received threats on Facebook on Tuesday from an anti-Semitic man in Ukraine, after Thalasinos posted pro-Israel messages, CNN reports.
Hi wife Jennifer told local news her husband, a health inspector for San Bernardino County, identified as a conservative Messianic Jew, and may have been targeted for his beliefs. He often went to work wearing a red kippah, a tallit, and a Star of David.
"My husband was very outspoken about radical Islam, very outspoken. His Facebook page is just full of things about being outspoken about radical Islam and about the state of the country," she told local news.
Jennifer stated she had "had a bad feeling" that her husband had died in the attack and that the two incidents may have been connected.
"To have this happen, this man, though I know he was targeted like everyone in that group, but I'm sure he was targeting my husband because of his faith and I really feel like my husband was martyred," she said.
