The elderly Filipino from Las Vegas was joined by his family and AAPI community members during the initial court hearing for the case.

"We move forward in continuing to fight and in making our voices heard," said Gloria Caoile, a community leader. "Justice is for everyone, not just for a few."

The security footage from Quindara's residence captured Lentz threatening Quindara multiple times before walking away.

Lentz was also heard hurling racial slurs at him.

The Clark County District Attorney recently expanded the charges against Letz to residential burglary and elder abuse perpetrated as hate crimes.

"We want him charged with more," said Crystal Salvador, a supporter of the Quindara family. "He should have jail time."

AAPI leaders said elected officials and law enforcement agencies need to take a proactive measure to prevent future acts of violence.

"We want our political officials to pay attention to this," said union leader Grace Mactal. "We gotta be able to put some programs and education on how to get this cross racial line to be together, to be united."

Lentz was ordered to undergo a competency evaluation and is due back in court on July 23.
